We went to The Great Wall andI went up many steps with a massive crowd of people, mostly Chinese - crowd worse than any christmas shopping. The view would have been great if we could have seen it. The Wall is amazing though. I must look like a grandmother because a young couple with a 12 month old baby asked to be photographed with me.
Then we went to Ming Tombs, and the bus went passed the Olympic buildings - stadium (birds nest) and the pool, very spectacular architecture. Like Sydney there is a great deal of plenty of trees, shrubs, and laying of turf along freeways.
Tomorrow we go on about 40 hour train journey to Mongolia.

Hi Pat Impressed with your shopping skills, athletic prowess, and incredible internet expertise wherever you are!! I've nearly sorted our overseas trip to Tassie. But Maria Island looks like a challenge as they've just changed to the winter timetable. Kerry
you were warned it was teeming with chinese, however glad to hear they are so helpful.
Wow Mum, sounds like you are having a real adventure!!! Hope your trip to Mongolia is not too bumpy.
Good Morning Pat, now that I have got the hang of this there will be no stopping me.
I am still interested in the bike riding.
Eugenie
