Day 29 Shanghai, People's Republic of China

Left the ship at a more leisurely hour this morning due to the late night return last night.    Took the shuttle to the Bund, walked around a bit and decided to head across the river to the Shanghai World Financial Center to check out the world’s highest observatory….  We crossed the river via the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel which provides a bit of a psychedelic light show as you traverse the tunnel. From the tunnel we walked to the “Bottle Opener” aka the Shanghai World Financial Center, called that because the top does look a lot like a bottle opener……The first stop was at the skywalk  on the 100th floor, 474 meters high. We took in two other (lower) levels for the views before departing.  The smog wasn’t very helpful but it was a great visit.  Then it was back to the Bund for a bit of a walk and some people pics.  Made it an early day and got back to the ship just before the turned it around in the river to facilitate our departure.  Sat out in the sun for a while before hitting the blogs for several hours....  So nice to have two sea days before Hong Kong,,,,
