Yes, it was bad timing booking the 19th. It would have been good having someone the same age on the trip!! I hope they're not all 30 and 40 year olds!! I didn't book the add-on, only decided I might do it last week and telephoned to find out more details, plus administration charges for changing the booking, but they have not got back to me yet.

In the brochure it says fly to Wuhan and board the boat at Yichang which is about 140 miles from Wuhan Obiously it would be better to board at Wuhan.

Anyway, thank you for the info, I'll wait for them to get back to me.

Regards, Pat.
