Eclipse Tours

Hi Wavytone,

If you are interested, the Sutherland Society is running a tour to China to view the eclipse from Hangzhou, a couple of hundred kilometres south of Shanghai near the coast. Apart from mid-pacific it has pretty-much the best weather prospects on the mainland. Eclipse at Hangzhou will last 5mins 49sec -- enough time to get bored during totallity.

Participation is not limited to SASI members. The tour is 13 days, 11 nights five ***** hotels all the way, virtually all meals, two internal flights, Shanghai, Terracotta Warriors, Great Wall, Forbidden City, Beijing etc etc etc plus much more for a base rate of $3090 per person twin-share + fuel levy + departure taxes. Extra $370- to fly to and from China via Singapore Airlines (rather than South-East China Air).

For what it includes, the price is completely insane and I couldn't go past it. I'm going with the family.

If you are interested PM me with your private email address and I will send on the PDF brochure. Numbers are very limited and I can't warrant that it isn't already filled -- but it only opened 6 weeks ago.


Best,

Les D
