Touring Beijing




We had a full day of touring Beijing. As you can see from the pictures it was a cold damp, foggy day. Not great for long distance viewing at The Great Wall and also cold! But we still had a great day. Saw the ancient Forbidden City, Tiannamen Square, and climbed part of the Great Wall. We also had lunch out at a Chinese Restaurant and shared many wonderful dishes including Roast Duck.
Tomorrow we fly to Shenyang which is the city where we will stay for 9 days. It is in Northeast China. This is where Clare is and on Monday we will become a family of four. We are both excited and nervous. We are 12 hours ahead so by Monday morning, your time, Clare will be with us. We will post more then.
