Album 5: Chongqing, an overnight stop

An overnight stop only on our tour of China. We were driven straight from the airport through the smoky hilly (no bicycles!)
city to a hill overlooking the river. Here there was a lesson about tea from two eager young ladies, and another enormous meal.
Then back to our unremembered (so it must have been O.K.) hotel, and an early delivery to the cruise ship next morning.
