Weather: foggy.
Progress: Slow.
Hours delayed: 7.
Woke up and everything outside the window was white. Couldn't even see the water. Dropped anchor at 7 am and sat there in the mouth of the Yangtze river for 7 hours. When the fog finally lifted we saw other ships nearby, equally still. When we finally got moving, it took some time to sort out the traffic jam and get moving. We finally got off the ship in Shanghai at 8. I walked into town with a few other people. I tried to phone Nicky, my accomodation, but Chinese phones seem to be a practical joke. I made it to my digs at 10 pm, totally exhausted. The cats kept me up for a while, but eventually settled down at the end of my bed.
