amazing shopping here in Shanghai.
First stop was to an underground mall. Four hours later and we had only made
it through a quarter of the shops.
Took a taxi back to do some more shopping and sightseeing on Nanjing Road.
Had a light lunch at the historic Fairmont Peace Hotel - built in 1930 by
Victor Sassoon it has retained its' art-deco interior and old world charm.
Before heading back to the ship we took a walk along the riverside of The
Bund with views of "the Old Town" across the street, and "New Shanghai" and
its' amazing skyline across the river. The word bund derives from the word
embankment and in Shanghai The Bund is a 771 meter long walkway running atop
the retaining wall of the river.
Was a great way to spend the day (and help the Chinese economy), and it
seemed wherever we went we ran into fellow shipmates and crew just enjoying
the day and this amazing city.
