Small Gorges, Wu Gorge, Qutang Gorge

2009, China

A much better sleep last night and I ‘think’ I am feeling a little better. After breakfast it’s off on a shore excursion again – this time via another ferry and up the “Minor 3 Gorges” (have to admit getting a little tired of gorges now!), but in reality, irrespective of ‘it’s just another gorge’, this really is an amazing place – the gorges are so deep and it’s really interesting to see the people who live within, and where on earth they come from whilst waiting on the river edge – how on earth do they get to that spot – there’s no way down from almost 800 metres up there!!!

Some have small cave homes, some have tiny tracks they follow all the way down the hills etc – lots of them are also folk who have been relocated because of the dam project – all are obviously aware of the height the water will eventually be as there are high water marks along the way everywhere with everything built well above that level.

Back from that excursion for lunch then off we head again for some other distant point! No idea where we are going!
