Howdy People, Well, we've had quite an adventure over the last couple of weeks. We got the sleeper train to Xi'an, and saw the Terracotta Army amongst many other things, then came back to Beijing before setting off into the sticks. (Well, we say setting off, but it took a bus, a mini bus who dropped us in the middle of nowhere, a taxi and a bit of a walk...) Eventually we ended up in Simatai, a beautiful part of the Great Wall. Our hostel had lovely scene...

Arrived safely in China, after a 10 hour flight. At heathrow, we both got searched (X-Rayed), and then had to sit in different parts of the plane. Still, stu got some peace and quiet! Amazingly, managed to get the Shuttle bus from Beijing Airport, and decided to walk to the Hostel from the stop, (perhaps not a wise move when you're not sure where you're going!), but so many helpful people made sure we got here. Hostel is pretty nice! Got our own room ...
