Back on the ship

Published on by rphbaker

After our day tour we headed back to the ship for a welcome talk as well as dinner.

Might as well hit the coffee machine and test out the oatmeal raisin cookie.

The events director and the hotel manager chatted with the group in the lounge about what to expect on the tour. They were both really engaging and funny but mostly the events director. He’s a real character.

After the chat it was time for dinner which started at 7. Emily had suggested we ask them to speed up our meal as we have an appointment at 8:30. Our waiter was extremely accommodating and managed to get us out right on time.

When I asked if it was possible to expedite even if we had to skip dessert he said “so you want me to bring dessert first so you don’t miss the most important part?” He gets me.

The tables are mostly for six people so Sherry and Gary from California joined us. They were nice couple, although not a couple at all but rather just friends who were fun to chat with.

While we were eating we noticed the boat next to us was moving. This is a Viking ship that is all in Chinese. All visitors and workers are Chinese including all the signage. They actually moved all three boats around and you couldn’t even feel it despite the river’s very strong current.
I started with the bean soup
Greg’s Cesear
Feeling so fancy with my Come Zero bottle!
I had the chicken and potatoes
Greg had steak
Carey’s goulash
Greg and I had creme brûlée
Carey got the chocolate cake
Our waiter Milo hooked Greg up with fruit for his dessert. Not sure why he’s so obsessed with Greg but I wasn’t mad about it since I helped myself to some.

After dinner it was time to meet Emily for our night tour.
