Hello Everybody, greetings from Beijing. After arriving after a 10 hour flight fully refreshed, yes fully refreshed as we got upgraded to Club class on the plane. 3 course meal x 2 (dinner and breakfast), champagne on tap, films, music, tv programmes, lay flat beds, duvets, pillows etc). We were so smug. We are having a fun time. Staying in Beijing, Chong Wen Men Hotel, visited the Temple of Heaven yesterday and got a poor old man to rickshaw us back to the hotel. Went out for a traditional peking duck meal with our tour group. We decided against the donkey and the pigeon. This morning we went for a starbucks before heading to the great wall of china. OMG its immense. We got a cable car up the mountain (very high and it didn't help that it smacked me over the head before its departure. We then walked along some of the wall, its soooooo long and steep. We then taboganed back down the mountain, haha was soooo fun. We then went to the Pearl Market which is 5 floors of fakes (Gucci, Mulberry, Pearls etc) Heaven for me but i didn't buy anything as i have no god damn room in my bloody rucksack. Our group consists of 6 girls around our age, 2 men from germany and an old lady called sue from Toronto. Any ways tomorrow we are off to Tianammen square and The Forbidden City then onto the overnight train to Xian to see the terracota Warriors. Will try and update again by end of week. Much Love xxxxxxx (p.s. for all my girls , i already have a bit off a sun tan hahaha) Check out pics xxxxx (Just tried to upload pics but the computers having none of it will try soon.
