Day 3. The Great Wall.
... the wall is in ruin.
The view was amazing. WE could see parts of the wall that we where at yesterday all the way to the dragons head at the sea.
It was fantastic because there was ************e there.
If you go to Beijing this is a great day trip to do. It's not very touristy at all. It really felt like you where in old China.

Day 2- Dragons Head
... out it really looked like a dragon. It's really was amazing. At the very end of the wall we posed at an alter that looks back on the wall.
On the way back there where people everywhere. There must have been 20 bus loads of people that arrived all at the same time.
Very beautiful. Really worth seeing.
Then we went to Shanhaiguan.

Ahhh. we are also going to head to the East Qing Tombs ...

Today we were meant to trek for like 10 hours over 4 moutains. However I could only do 1 mountain before my knees gave way under me. I was so disappointed. It was the hardest day today. It wasn't that I didn't want to do it, I just couldn't. Leah managed to persuade the guides to take us for KFC. We are staying in a farm house tonight with communal beds! Aaah Tomorrow we are going to take on a hike up a mountain to see Cihou ...
