Tuesday, April 18 Sunny and 27C We are flying again today. We are up at 5:00 to have breakfast and ready to leave the hotel by 6:30. We arrive at the airport at 7:30. Flight to Wuhan will take about 1hr and 45 minutes. We were originally schedule to stay overnight in Wuhan but there is a big convention or something and there were no hotel rooms available. We will take a bus directly to Jingzou, a 4 hour ride, ouch! We make one quick stop along the way at the halfway mark. We arrive in Jingzou around 3pm. We are booked at the Windham hotel, very nice. We rest a few minutes then meet some of the others in the bar for happy hour. We leave for supper at 5:45. It's the usual round table with plates full of food to share. We're back at the hotel by 7:30. It will be a quiet night. Luckily only a 9:30 start tomorrow.

Ron was afraid that they would take his lunch from him while he slept.

It was a McDonald lunch today because of the long drive.

Sights along the drive from Wuhan to Jingzou.

Lots of farmland during the 4 hours.

There were also lots of fish farms.
