We had another early start this morning as we are off to visit White King Town. We duly assembled at 7.30 am in the lobby to await disembarkation. I did get a little worried at one point as couldn't find Nick through the thick fog of cigarette smoke (I'm sure Matthew Kelly is on board doing auditions for Stars In Their Eyes, or it could really just be the chain smoking Chinese!) Visited the Temples in the town which was a nice little walk and then it was back on the boat to go through the first of the gorges which was pretty spectacular. This afternoon we were off onto another boat to visit the three little gorges, we met up with Karl and Chinese Nick and spent the day with them. It soon became evident that there is something a little strange about Chinese Nick as he does not talk to anyone else on the boat. Also today a Chinese woman started shouting at him about something but he did not respond at all and when we asked him what it was about he just shrugged. Nick (beloved husband who is not Chinese and does not speak Chinese) then asked me whether I thought he could actually speak Chinese and I realized that we have never heard him talk to anyone Chinese. At this point we decided he must really be from China Town Manchester and has never actually been to China before! The little three gorges were spectacular and then it was back on the boat for our last evening (hurrah!)
