When do you leave Darren? That will be really cool! Dont go too fast mind...need you home in one piece. Although whats another sore limb...it wouldn't be you if you didnt end up more injured - hehe! I get back 6th June.

Apparently in Yangshou they have dog restaurants...but i dont think i will be partaking.

Hope all it well with the Girls and lynne.

Hi Mother Goose

Yeh out of Beijing now so the cough has gone. Not sure if we mentioned it on the blog but the Beijing air is meant to be equivilant to smoking 70 fags a day so I'm now addicted. Weathers been really hot here almost 30 degrees so quite different to your storms. Aparently the restraunt we are going to tonight serves Turtle but not so sure about trying that one. Might stick to the chickens feet and head tonight - they love it out here. I'm sure Gem will try all of it!

Hi kids, good to read about your recent travels of the Great Wall of China. Have to get a peg for snoring Normans nose at night lol, Well done Met for getting up to see the sunrise, bet it was worth it. Everything good at home. Went to Wales on week-end, you got quite a following up there, all checking in on your where abouts and what you been doing and seeing, keep up the great information you sending home, hope you sort the pic thing out soon love to you both mam x x x x

hope you're having a really good time, jealous that we're not there with you! just seen skiing pics and we'll go with you next year!! do you want us to hold your job open for you?? i need some wood chopping! barry says 'hello' too. bye x

Hi kids, good to see you having a great time and meeting lots of new people. You stick to being a vegetarian Gem, leave those crispy chips alone lol. Hope your feeling better soon Met. keep your-selves safe and enjoy the Great Wall. Look forward to hearing about the rest of your travel. Miss you luv Mam x x x x x x xx

Hey Kid, nice on the pics and the updates this is a pretty cool site. Glad you and Met are having a top time and I think you need to partake of fried arachnids and poisonous nasties whenever you get the chance...bring me home some Scorpion.

Depending on when you get back I might be off on my travels...going to take the bike across Northern Spain, Southern France, Pyreniinesesees(?????) then North through France (the Alps) Switzerland and back to Blighty...they reckon that trip takes seven days...bet I can do it quicker.

Be mindful of your surroundings youngling.
