We woke up at 8 and it was 61 degrees under hazy skies. I ordered coffee and we dressed for another eventful day. I downloaded the pictures from last night and we went to breakfast at 9. Glenda opted to stay on the ship today as we were going to do a lot of walking again and she was not up to it. Thea and I boarded the shuttle bus at 9:40 and it dropped us off at the Bund at 10. Yesterday, we had to walk a good distance to get the this point. We walked all along the Bund and on the the Yuyuan Garden, arriving at 10:40. We crossed the bridge and then bought tickets at 10:50 for 60 Yuan to the Garden. I got half off for a senior discount. Old age has its benefits. We wandered through the various passageways until 11:30 and then we stopped at the 10 Yuan store for Thea to pick up some souvenirs. We walked all the way back to the Bund where the shuttle bus had let us off and got there at 12:05. The bus showed up at 12:15 and left at 12:30. We re-boarded the ship at 12:40. We talked with Glenda on the aft deck and Thea and I went to the cabin to rest up. I uploaded today's pictures and posted 3 blog entries for yesterday, finishing at 2:45. We had a notification in the cabin that the all aboard time had been changed for a second time. Yesterday, it was changed from 5:30 to 7:30 due to favorable tides, but today it was changed to 11:30 due to heavy traffic on the river. We had reservations in the Canaletto, the Italian Restaurant, courtesy of Cruise Specialists (Tom Mullins) at 7 so we dressed up a bit. Before dinner we went to the Crow's Nest for a while. Dinner was very good and it was over at 8:30. We went to the aft deck to get some last minute pictures of the lights, but is was very cold and we went to the cabin at 8:40 and watched the end of the World Series Game 4. Glenda came back at 10 and we went to bed.
