Ni Hao!
Well,the day before yesterday we hiked the great wall of china。 It was gr8。 We had a 4 hour climb up the non-tourist section of the wall with loads of the locals following us the whole way。 I had my own special man helping me up all the hard parts...and there were a lot of them!!
In one part we had to use our hands and feet to clamber up what was at least 1000 steps!! My legs are absolutely fine but my chest section is kiling from the local man pulling me up some really hard parts!
Once we finished the hike, we got a zip line over a lake and then a boat to our local guesthouse。 then we got an overnight train to Xi'ian where we are now。
So now we're in Xi'an which is pretty cool。 We have just been to the Muslim Quarter where we ate some wierdo (what we thought was potatoe!) thingy。Then we went up the Bell Tower - one of the many towers that joins the city walls。 Xi'an has a wall surrounding the whole city which is pretty cool。
Tonight we're going for another team meal and then onto Karaoke。。。woohoo!!
Anyway, gotta go。
much love, xxx
