Wanshang Hao! This is Beijing calling! Well we have made it through another extensive border crossing only about 5 and half hours this time. Got to Beijing station at 14.00 yesterday and met out new honcho Tina, who took us straight out to have our group meeting over some Peking Duck! Then to Tiannanmen Square for some piccys, we also visited the 2008 Olympic Park all lit up. Today the rest of the gang went to see the Great Wall, but me and Helen (I may have forgot to mention she is doing the same China trip as me when we finish vodkatrain) have it included on the next trip. So we had the day to ourselves! We went to the Chinese national museum (it is the largest in the world - bigger than the Louvre), the beautiful Buddist Lama Temple and then we finished the day with a huge walk through the Temple of Heaven, go back about 40mins ago i just had time to do this update before we meet up with everyone go out for our last vodkatrain group meal on Ghost Street, as tomorrow we go our separate ways :(! But the journey continues as me and Helen start the Essential China trip! We are in Beijing for a few days yet so i may be able to do another update before we move on. xxx
