Day 12 - 3 Gorges trip.

Day 12!
Many pictures to share!
Enjoy!


We had to have our breakfast early in the morning.
The table was filled with porridge, buns, soya bean milk etc...
After breakfast...
Some of us decided to go to the deck to take some pictures.

Around 10am we had to gather as we were going touring.

We had to board another boat.

For a ride of about 40minutes.

After which we will take another boat for a ride.

However the 2nd boat which we board is being paddled by humans.

It is very hard work.


Some French tourists at the main hall before boarding the 1st boat.

This is our ship that we stayed on for 3 days and 2 nights.

Our ticket to the 2nd boat ride.

While on the 1st boat...

Wind blowing!!!

Group shot.

Threesome!

While we had a boat that goes by engine, some people had to sail the boat manually.

More people paddling the boat themselves...

What a bridge!

A side view!

What a scene!

The place where we took our 2nd boat...

An overall view.

These people seems to have a hard life.

They earn money by paddling and pulling the heavy boats around a lake.

RMB30 for 1 trip.

Singaporeans are indeed priviledge to be having a less harsh labour.

Most of us work in air-conditioned rooms and earn very high pay.





Paddling hard at work.

Look at the paddles row in the water!

The footwear they wear when they work...

Hard at work...

Rowing away....

Holding on to ropes in order to pull the boat.

After the boat trips.

We headed back to the 1st boat that we took.

It eventually sent us back to our ship.

On the journey back...
We had to snack...

There was many snacks going aound!



Pockey!

This is lunch back at our ship!

After lunch...

We were to look at the view at the deck.

And waited for time to pass as the next tour was at 6.30pm

The next tour was to visit a tourist spot at a local town.




Mountains!

There were people on the mountains.
