Today was the big day! I'd been looking forward to this so much! I can say I have now climbed up to the Great Wall of China, walked along it and then I took a toboggan to the bottom of it! I can not describe the feeling of getting to the top of the wall and looking out over the side to just see the mountains and the city in the distance. The smile on my face made my jaw ache. This was just crazy insane! Walking along it is so surreal with a few of us just looking at each other with those ridiculous smiles trying to take in what we were actually doing and seeing! Tobogganing back down, crossing over a wooden bridge looking over at Mongolian hillside, is a sight that will never ever leave me! Also the 9 mosquito bites will never leave me as they have now scarred. Brilliant.

With all that excitement, it was time for some more food where I learnt that scooping up the rice is quicker instead of even trying to work chopsticks properly! Maybe I won't starve after all..

To finish off our first proper night in Beijing we went to watch some real life kung fu! It was really good having the story told to us in English, the kicks make a lot more sense that way!

Oh and I tried a dragonfruit. Looks like a bleached kiwi but tastes like a watermelon. My mouth is so confused!
