Great Wall of China





















3 hour psychotic bus trip to the Wall - ten man buss, 15 people on it.

Wall was very impressive and is very very long if not 'Great'. We walked a ten K stretch of it which was actually quite hardgoing and the weather was perfect - you wouldnt want to walk it in the heat. Still loads of sellers ever half way round the Wall - if there is a sale to be made in China you can be assured that someone will be there selling! They built the wall to keep the Mongolians out and from invading and occupying China. Ironically nowaday there are hundreds of Mongolians on the wall selling you T-shirts, Maps, postcards, crap T-Shirts, cans of coke and beer. I bought the lot. Check the chick with the the hat hairdo - awesome - that pic cost me dear...

Pics to follow, you couldn't really appreciate the size of if up there until looking at the photos after which puts it all into perspective.
