We returned to our shop before lunch, and sailed away. After lunch, David went off in search of a Mah Jong game, and I spent a couple of hours on the veranda with my Kindle, reading and enjoying the beautiful views as we sailed through Wu Gorge, a much larger gorge than we had sailed through on the excursion boat. I thought I had snapped a few pictures during this time, but I must not have. The scenery was similar, but there were several pretty pagodas along the way that were definitely photo-worthy.
During dinner we entered the first of five locks that would takes us through the Three Gorges Dam to the lower level of the river downstream. Unlike the Panama Canal locks, these are free for shops to traverse, and the ship's captain sails the ship through the locks without the benefit of a "mule". The more we were lowered, the darker it got. We watched for a while before we headed up to the lounge for a little more dancing.
