Our hotel overlooked ponds and two 18-hole golf courses. It was billed a s a "golf country club" and played up the golf theme in their decor. We don't know of anyone who actually played the courses or were allowed to. This was at the end of our formal tour and when we were planning an extension on our own we asked about staying on for a few days but since the price offered was out of reach we opted for a cheaper city centre hotel We were glad we did since the Crowne Plaza was some distance from city centre. Our bus and van drivers even had a hard time finding it. But the view was nice.

After breakfast we checked drove into Shanghai  which gave uis another chance to take in the city scenery and architecture. As he had done during so many Asian countries Bill was allowed to sit in the front seat. In smaller buses/vans this is usually alongside the driver and local guide but many of the buses on this trip had two seats on an upper level above the driver. These seating locations have always provided us with some good 'on-the-move' photos. When we arrived at the Bund we were met with quite different views from those offered the night before.
