Sad but has some benefits
He Alex - yes it was sad not to be able to go inside the Forbidden City but being in China during this time of celebration is proofing to be quite fortutous as we are having so many other experiences and seeing huge preparation for 1 October festival. Hope you enjoy our next posts. Cheers Sheila

A must see
Hello Dave and Merry - you must put it on your list it is so different and we are throughly enjoying every moment. Cheers Sheila

Beguiling China
Hi Alex - certainly enjoying the adventure so far and so much more to come - the Great Wall was indeed a highlight and so glad we managed to see several sections to get more of an idea of its tremendous size and the struggle to build it snaking across the mountain tops. Regards Sheila

The Forbidden City
Hi Ake - Yes it was such a shame that we were unable to visit the city this time but we were so grateful that at least we had a 'birds eye' view. Regards Sheila

The Great Wall

Family links to India
Hi Malcolm and great to see that you managed to get into the blogs, hopefully the site will be up and running fully soon. It was also great to catch up with you at Uncle Les's funeral, although another sad occasion losing both of mums brothers within a few months it was nice to see so many of the family again. With regard to Indian curry I must admit that before I went I was not a a great fan of Indian cuisine but my taste buds have thoroughly changed since sampling some of the best foods I have tasted for ages during our month around India. Really enjoyed so many new tastes and flavours and particularly liked the Paneer and I am hoping that our last lodge will send me their special recipe. S x
