The Trainspotters
Hello,
We finally reached China and are staying a whole week in Beijing to recover from the train journey. Lots of cheap dumplings and noodles so Michael is happy...
The trip to the Great Wall was fantasic - we walked 10km from Jinshaling to Simatai and there was nobody else there apart from the eight in our group. It doesn't sound that far but this section has not been renovated so parts of it are crumbling away and it's pretty steep in places so quite knackering really.
We also rented bikes for a day which was an experience, as anyone who has seen Chinese driving will know. Michael only managed to crash into one person all day so we thought that was quite an achievement.
All for now - next leg is a 40hr train journey straight through to Vietnam, but no worries about that as it seems pretty short now.
Take care, lots of love,
K and M xxx
