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. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted March 5, 2017 #162 Share Posted March 5, 2017 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. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted March 6, 2017 #163 Share Posted March 6, 2017 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. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Silver Spectre Posted March 7, 2017 #169 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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.

Rare WesW Posted March 7, 2017 #172 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope y'all continue to have a terrific voyage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 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.

Rare Silver Spectre Posted March 7, 2017 #175 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
