Beijing, The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall

Oh the Great Wall of China! Been there done that, didn't like the t-shirts! Seriously though, an amazing site! Fantastic day! We climbed to the end of the restored part and from there we could see parts of the original wall collapsed and unwalkable. Thousands of miles of ancient wall, lying on the hills into the distance. Making it to the wall really early in the morning, was well worth it, no people at all! Couldn't believe our luck!

The way down!
Went on for ages, such a good ride! The brakes worked a treat!

Arty shot.
The tiny dots are people. We were the 4th people on the wall that early morning! Notice some of the other 'no people in sight' photos.

Steep steps!
Where's Phil gone?

Climbing the steep steps!
It's not a flat walk this!

Look very closely.
This part of the Wall is over grown with trees and bushes, can you see this? Quite a site!

Ah, a spot of early morning sunshine
Early morning mist cleared and the warm sun appeared.
