Got up a bit late at 10 but had booked a breakfast at a restaurant recommended by James, M on the Bund, so we got a taxi over to the bund in Shanghai and after a short walk along the bund to build up an appetite I met up with Mina and headed in.
We had booked online and got a table looking out over the bund, when we sat down they started with a champagne cocktail and to start I had frogs legs which was amazing, and then a huge mixed grill of meat to make up for my low protein diet over here in China, and it was very tasty as well, the atmosphere and the service was great, well worth the price as an occasional treat!
The only problem was the messed up the main order a bit, and brought the wrong meal for Mina, but because of this gave us a huge free pavlova, which was tasty too!
After breakfast I got my things from the hotel and jumped on the metro out to the maglev station in Shanghai from which I had to find a taxi to the holiday inn hotel I had booked for the night.
The only problem was that it was the car expo at the expo centre, right next to the maglev station! so it took 30 minutes of walking around and asking taxi drivers before one was willing to take the meter price of 30rmb and not try to rip off the foreigner for 100rmb, as taxis in china are prone to doing!
