Hello,
Just to let everyone know we are fine, didn't feel earthquake at all. Everyone in city was evacuated out of buildings, except us white people who were left confused and stranded in supermarket at an empty checkout. Seriously though the devastation looks awful and we would have been at the epicentre in two days, so we are all feeling very lucky. The remainder of our trip now looks to be re-routed, and possibly shortened. We shall see. Just don't want to be in the way at all.
Went to Great Wall and loved it, something I will remember till the end of my days. Such amazing, amazing scenery and the space around it is just amazing. It is good for the soul, although how they built it was unbelievable. We walked 10km along it, and to those who remember how I struggled on the Inca trail will be pleased to know I made it easily and happily. It redeemed China in my eyes!!
In Xian now, loving the sights, off to see Terracotta Army tomorrow and then who knows, feels bad to be enjoying things when the country is struggling to cope with earthquake but at least we are spending money and are not in the way.
Love to all,
Beth
