Up at 8 then went for breakfast. Booked a couple of trips for Thursday and Tuesday.
Left the hotel and walked to tiananmum square. Had to go through security but was not allowed into the main square. There are a lot of police and security guards around everywhere. They often march in a line together. Then we wandered around shong-Shan park. Ended up walking just over 5 miles. Got a taxi back to our hotel and went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Chilled out in the afternoon.
Met Steve at 7 in our hotel bar then went to Beijing Wangfujing quanjude roast duck restaurant for dinner. On the way there we passed two lots of groups dancing in the street like line dancing ! Then we had to look at a map and what I thought at the time a nice Chinese lady came up to us to see if we needed help : she told us we needed to go a different way then she asked if we wanted to go for a beer : Carl thought she was leading us the wrong way ! So we went our way and she shouted f....you bloody idiots !!!b(we were warned about Chinese taking us for a ride)
Eventually found the restaurant. Found it difficult to understand the menu but ordered duck. It came out whole and the chef cut it up and served it( including. It's head) but it was so fatty not like at home. Walked back to hotel for a night cap. Still groups dancing in the streets
