• Mega Early Up
• Fought Chinese for breakfast. Very nice Dumplings
• Transfer to smaller boat, along a gorge
• Extremely misty but very pretty gorges
• Transferred to a tiny boat just for us + Lauren's group, rowed by some dudes, against stream
• At a rough part they dragged us by rope, but not before passing round firewater and loads of chinese peeps photographing us.
• After short drag, they turned us around and we zoomed back down stream, our western weight helping us along.
• Our local guide sung a few traditional songs to us.
• Back track to big boat. Sleep in the arvo
• Dinner
• David taught us Marjong. Me and Lydia on 1 team, and were awesome.
• Retired to bar area as cooler
• Watched a performance of dance
• Beer. David did Karaoke, and a random lady went up halfway through and helped him. He is the ladies man indeed. Awesome.
• Some weird musical chair game with Jackie Chan (or at least Lauren's group's guide)
• Bit of beer and dancing. Suddenly all the Chinese vanished.
• Sleep.
