Today we cheated; we were all set for an 8 hour "Best of Shanghai" and we bailed. JM was sleeping & out like a light, so I advised the tour desk we would miss the tour. Regent asks that we please advise them by 6 pm the day prior to the tour, but I missed the deadline. I think they appreciated the fact that I advised them at all...
We had a leisurely breakfast then off the the Tao Bao Market... the bargaining market. Oh what an adventure! It involved handbags and a "souvenir" suitcase - trust me, it's a must! (found beautiful handbags, very good quality at "Summer" Top of the escalator to the left. She's just delightful, speaks very good English, and offers spectacular bargains! It's a shopping don't miss.) Dinner reservations at Signatures tonight, one of the specialty restaurants on board. What a treat! Foie Gras, a to die for Mushroom soup worth licking the bowl for and magnificently cooked lamb. We're looking forward to a glorious day at sea tomorrow... then Xiamen (pronounced Shamen) for an overnight.
