Actually Ishigaki looks pretty cool. There is a serious suggestion that we skip Shanghai and stay here instead.

And, miss the Bund?

Yuk! And, depressing too.

 

Reminds me of the horrible Russian architecture in Murmansk.

Ha! Good point. I sure would like to try. Gotta work on the bank account first after paying for a certain someone's 10-year university and dental school plan.

-----and we know someone with 2000+ days - boy are we jealous!!

 

Kindest regards to all on the Whisper - and commiserations to all on Taipei. We spent four days, three nights there last March after disembarking the Shadow in Hong Kong, and we had non stop torrential rain - I was almost suicidal!!

 

Enjoy the Far East, we are around 300 miles off the Equator, off the northeastern tip of Brazil having left Natal and last Brazilian port tomorrow - Fortaleza.

 

 

Kindest regards

Thanks ME. We were lucky with the weather in Keelung and Taipei and we had a lovely day yesterday for our detour. Late last night there was heavy rain, this morning it's overcast and a little foggy. Tomorrow's weather in Shanghai is showing a high of 11c. I feel jealous of your hot weather.

Apparently we have an internet pipe with a download speed of 64MB and an upload speed of 32MB and some serious compression software in place (the one that a Google uses), and apart from that it all crashed this evening, back up now. However, it's impossible to get the Saturday or Sunday Mail.

Just arrived in Shanghai, blue skies and 55F. Now we wait and see how long it takes to process all our passports. Excited to be back here after a gap of 25 years.

Thx for the pics Mr. Spectre. I can hardly wait to see them myself this summer.

Blessed to be able to spend a second day in this wonderful city. Slightly grumpy that we have had no papers since Friday, and Gary the IT Manager has left to go do his thing on the Muse.

Mr. And Mrs. Silver, Ida and I are also sorry that our ships (Whisper for y'all and Regent's Voyager for us) missed a few opportunities to share the same port more than just Manila. Hope y'all continue to have a terrific voyage.

Thanks Wes. We have had a lovely day in Shanghai today, clear skies and plenty of sunshine. It was actually warm. Now the Wind has changed and we have fog (or maybe pollution) rolling down the river.

 

The world cruise side trip to Xian will be back soon so our ship will be busy again tonight, but there are still 40 who have gone onto Beijing and will rejoin in Hong Kong [emoji1125].

 

Our highlight today was a walk to the Peace Hotel, now part of four seasons, seeing the old photos, their museum and enjoying a beer on the roof terrace in the sun.

Spectacular!

Slipped off the dock at 10pm and sailed back down the river with the lights on both sides. What a special visit this has been.
