We've been on a boat for 2 days sailing up some of the tributaries off the Yangzti River to look at the scenary. Sounds quite nice doesn't it? It did to us, especially as we were going to be in first class cabins. Then we were advised that our boat had been commandeered by the BigChiGov (to be known as the BCG from this moment on) and we were being moved to another. That's when the nightmare began.....
By the end of 2 days living in a filthy room where we were nervous about sleeping on the bed linen on a rotting, decaying ship with about 300 other indigenous people who seemed very happy with their holiday home, we were majorly fed up. Yes, we complained bitterly and our tour guide got a huge amount of stick. The rats gnawing behind the walls of the cabins was the final straw for many in our group including the girl sharing my cabin. I must have been travelling for too long as my response to this situation was "We might as well go back to sleep 'cause at least the ship isn't sinking as the rats would be leaving!"
Took the edge of the scenary really! If any Americans had been on board, I'm sure we would have all been airlifted off to avoid a breakdown in foreign relationships!
