Laura & Stu On Tour
Howdy People,
Well, we've had quite an adventure over the last couple of weeks. We got the sleeper train to Xi'an, and saw the Terracotta Army amongst many other things, then came back to Beijing before setting off into the sticks. (Well, we say setting off, but it took a bus, a mini bus who dropped us in the middle of nowhere, a taxi and a bit of a walk...) Eventually we ended up in Simatai, a beautiful part of the Great Wall. Our hostel had lovely scenery, but terrible, terrible toilets! We are true travellers now, and smell. Stu didn't have a shower for 3 days!!! (He apologises to his mom!). We spent a few days trekking from Jingshaling to Simatai, (yes, thats right trekking - our legs are killing!). Its a 4 hour hike, and very steep, lots of the bricks have crumbled or being taken. Still, it was amazing. Only down side was the hawkers, one woman in particular decided to follow us and sing all the way, so we hid! Now back in Beijing, and Stu has had a shower!
Take care,
Laura and Stu xx
