Wuhu, Easter Saturday

Spent the night slumming it at the Crown Plaza. Paddy wasn't happy
with the first 5 star hotel we were booked into so we changed. Wuhu is
about 350km from Shanghai. We arrived about 9.30pm and after a nice
hotel dinner of Nasi Goring got to bed about 10.30.

It's now about 6.15am Saturday and we plan to depart for Wuhan at
7.00am, a distance of about 600km.

Wuhu is a city of about 2.5m. It's been occupied since about 700bce,
and has been an important city on the Yangtse for several hundred
years.

The Catholics have left their mark too since I spotted an impressive
cathedral on the way in last evening.

The car is running well despite all the gear on the roof. We have a
battery powered fridge/freezer full of steak and French cheese for
eating when we get to the camping part of the trip.
