So we arrange to meet richard at 9am the next day for a quick breakfast, to go to tianmen square then to forbidden city told them i would not go but will see them after as i had already been there.

He like you can go round it again no thanks it was busy and once is enough. So i go with them to tianmen square and we have our first group picture taken, me and eileen at the end with all the couple hugging etc... yuke.

I walk with them to the entrance of the forbidden city and eileen decides not to go in, doesnt help that all the couples go in one by themselves said ill go if you really want me to. So we head back to the shopping area and we by costa told the group will be meet later at 1.30pm, we had a coffee, sandwich and cake. So good after not eating loads.

My sandals are killing me so decide to walk back to hotel and put on trainer then we head to the forbidden city but we were tooo late. So we went to the park across and had a walk around none of the activity was there but eileen liked it we had pictures taken in traditional dress.

We then went to another park close by called belize i think not very good with names, it was lovely had coffee this is where Eileen says aint that happy with tour and is looking at the panda sanctuary xian, we then get discussing personal lives and eileen says she is on anti depressants and when she isnt happy then she needs to change it. So i said do whatever you need to.

This is the last night in Beijing we head back meet the group and we head to the lake area of beijing, we are having a few drinks and i was taken pictures of the group and one of th girls Caroline advises that she aint happy with me taking pictures and its invading her personal privacy. Look at her and thought what the f***.... i asked are you kidding she advised no she truly didnt want me to take pictures on a f***ing group tour.

So i delete the pictures... told eileen she was like really, yup.

Things go awkward as caroline got embarrassed i would be if were her dont come on group holidays then!!!!! We head back last day in beijing and first night on a hard sleeper train.
