Ni Hao from China!
Yes we have made it safely to China after many hours of sitting and sleeping in Bangkok Airport and numerous bus rides to get to our hotel. Everyone has made it here fit and well and we are preparing to leave for a 2-3 hour hike on the great wall of China in half an hour!
Beijing is overwhelming with the enormous size and the contrast between the new and old buildings. Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. This was the exciting journey we experienced yesterday. Lizzi's birthday was celebrated on the plane where the leaders organised i nice suprise and she got the privilege of calling home to talk to her family.
We are all very excited and have just enjoyed a yummy buffet breakfast and have enjoyed the last two dinners in Beijing which have consisted of rice, noodles, dumpling, duck and chicken (and yes Lucy ate a chickens head).
After our trek to the Great Wall we will definately post pictures of our experiences so far.
Bye for now (leaving in 10 minutes)
Kendall and Hannah
Happy Birthday to Lizzy, hi to all and keep posting those blogs. Ed (Rachel's Dad)
