The last day of the cruise started from the three gorges dam where we had mored up for the night after passing through the lock gates last night. Done an excursion to visit this massive project costing in the region of 25 billion US to complete. Already the dam produces electricity but is due for completion in 2009. We left the boat in Yichang where we spent the afternoon taking it easy and having lunch before the 17 hour over night train to Xi'an. This proved to be the best night of the tour as we started off with a couple of glasses of red wine, five bottles later it was time for the beer. Cut a long story short between 8 of us and a man we knew only as Mr Chin we polished off 40 plus bottles- with music playing and a serenade from us all till we flacked. What a night.
