Today negotiated with crew to get off boat without the $50 tour. Not happy but I had a great wander. Fengjie Chinese are excellent at tourist traps. Was a great day. All the gorges. I think Marie saw it in late '90. It is now 170m deep and some in her time were only 1-2 m deep before the dam. Off the main boat onto a smaller one for an hour and onto pea boat for another hour. The loading reminded me of the disembarking in Antarctica - except not quite the organisation. 250 passengers into little local boats. Our boat obviously were on a promise of some sort. We passed everybody to get home first. Maybe we had the young crew. Under 40. As all the younger guys have gone to the city. Tonight we go through the locks at 1am. And tomorrow see the dam. Hear the putt putt boats often & think of our Vietnam trip and Dakota
