We woke to Beijing smog but since the winds were blowing, the smog soon moved out and the day was sunny and warm. After packing our suitcases for the flight to Yi Chang later today, we took a long walk in the park. The peach, plum, and magnolia trees were all blossoming pink and white.
This weekend is a holiday weekend in China to honor family members who have died, and the park was set up with festive pink umbrellas and Chinese lanterns.
Jason Song, our tour guide and our driver took us to the airport for our late afternoon flight. The flight to Yi Chang was about 2 and 1/2 hours.
Sophia and a new driver met us at the airport and took us to the Victoria Anna, the ship we'll be cruising the Yangtze on for the next 4 nights. We were assigned our room, 507, and upgraded to VIP status. For dinner, we ate with Paul and Judy and had pepper beef, wonton soup, fish fillets, and fried rice. Since our room wouldn't cool, we moved next door to 509 around 11:30 p.m. Then it was off to bed to get ready for an early day tomorrow.
