The Great Wall of China
After being in China for 24 hours... or less it was time to hit the road and visit the Great Wall of China! We had taxi booked in advance and OFCOURSE even though we had alarm our heads were tuned to European time and feel so fast asleep that once waking up we were already 15 mins late to the taxi...
Lucky for us the Taxi driver was waiting... told him we just woke up... gotta get dressed... dragged the kids out bed... well you all know what's it's like in the morning... + jetlag... oh bother...
We did get everyone inside the taxi fairly fast... Thenon the way out of the town...Once we got to the Wall... Breakfast... NOODLES at ... Hmmm 10 am LOL
I was so happy that we got there... My fault I fell asleep again and just was too jetlagged to realize anything...
We knew it was a walk.... or a climb... So we took the cable car up
This is when we were coming down LOL
Blond kids are famous in China... Luka was constantly photographed even without permission. Here they asked to take a photo with Luka. Neither one of them seem too fond of it LOL
And yes we are there!!! Yet another dream come true!
I must say that I would prefer going there alone, hiking on the 'lost' parts or something. With kids even this one was pretty hard. Laura started saying that mummy my feet tremble.... it feels weird... So LOTS of climbing up there!! It was also very humid there. Everyone was sweating like pigs. I think it was about 36 degrees plus humidity. Good exercise for Brissy summer LOL
I loved it. It's been my dream to see the Great Wall of China and I did see it!!
All together China was a positive surprise. I loved China, I hated the traffic since they are CRAZY they drive on you and the only warning you get is horn even though you got green light!! Never been so scared going around with kids....
BUT more pics of THE wall to come LOL
Even though it was foggy I'm surprised at how good the pics turned out...'
Little ones <3
Down from the wall... no wonder so many million people died building it... It's high, humid in summer. freaking cold in winter...
Kaj on THE Wall
All together stopping in Beijing was definitely worth it and HUUUUUGE thanks to Tuomo and his family for letting us stay at their place. Thanks to Jiri for helping us out in navigating and finding food to eat (no English menus LOL).
I will remember this all my life. I can't believe I was in China!!!
