ICE SCATTING
After two well spent days this day started early however not with out little ups and downs. Mainly for me Romi I had a real trip day... started falling down the stairs in the tube and then whole day tripping over... anyway we have decided to go for bit of exercise to the Beijing university - ICE SCATTING .
Getting there was not a problem, if you lost just ask....we have "asked" one man- which meant pointing and we spoke Czech and he Chinese back but he draw us a map.... so off we go as the man "said" second turn left next right... and here we are.
Me Renata can not skate to save my life, but luckily they had little chair for the clumsy one and children. ...
Walk through the lovely ground of the university left us hungry so we had lovely pancakes which were made in front of our eyes.... next stop ...
OLD SUMMER PALACE
We have found our way by showing to random people the scribble for Old Summer Palace. This park must look amazing in summer but winter with frozen lakes and fake flower stuck on the trees there is not that much to see, accept for the GREAT FOUNTAIN RUINS, where we had fun... Let the pets out of the cage... climbing and playing silly buggers that is right up our street...
Again out of principal and determination of not getting ripped off ...again. and getting a taxi, we have ganged up on another Chinese for direction to the town centre.... bus 814,,,
Journey on the bus: - like it was not enough that we have felt completely out of place, while exiting the bus Me Renata bumped our head on the door of the bus - stupid Short Chinese buses.
Intentions were to head back to the hostel as everything was about to close in half hour, however as we got kicked out in front of Beihai Park... like a two little kids in a sweetie shop we have run into the park and quickly to the top. Breathless we made it to the WHITE PAGODA where we saw Immortal King = militi-armed pig. As we have wondered in dark thorough the park we knew we will come back here again...


BRUSLENI
Po dvou skvele stravenych dnech jsem vztavaly "s kokrhanim kohoutu ", ale bohuzel se zacatek dne neobesel bez mensich komplikaci. Pro me Romcu, pri ceste do metra jsem nevidela jeden schod a vsimla jsem si ho, az jsem se sbirala dole. Cely den jsem zakopavala... a to jsme se rozhodly pro mensi rozcvicku - BRUSLENI.
Dostat se tam nebyl problem, lina huba hole nestesti... tak jsme se "zeptaly" coz znamena, my v cestine a oni v cinstine a zbytek rukama nohama... ale jeden pan nam i nakreslil mapku ( mame ji schovanou), tak jsme sly jak nam pan "rekl"...
Ja Renatka bruslit neumim, ale nastesti na takove exoty jsou pripraveni.... pro neohrabance a male deti, maji kresilka na ostri...
Prosli jsme se pres krasny park a pak si dali jejich palacinky, ktere nam pani pred nami pripravila... dalsi stanice...
STARY LETNI PALAC
Dostaly jsem se na misto, diky nasi skvele mluvene znakove cinstine. Tento park, musi byt nadherny v lete, ale bohuzel v zime, krome zmrzleho jezera a naaranzovanych umelych kvetu, tam toho moc neni. Ale je tam zricenina... puste zviratka na zriceninu a ony se bavi... no jo na blbosti to nas uzije...
A zase ciste s principu, aby nas zase neoskubali, jsem se vrhly na jednoho cinana, aby nam "poradil", ktery autobus potrebujeme. Autobus 814.... abychom si nepripadaly jako uplni exoti, tak kdyz jsem vystupovaly, tak jsem se Ja Renatka triskla do hlavy - blbe nizke cinske autobusy.
Mely jsem v umyslu se vratit zpet do hostelu, ale to by nas autobus nesmel vyhodit pred Beihai Parkem. Jako strelene, jsme pul hodiny pred zavrenim chvataly do kopce a z vyplazenym jazykem jsem to stihly nahoru na BILOU PAGODU, kde jsme videly Nesmrtelneho Krale - nekolika ruke prase. Protoze uz byla tma a nic moc jsme uz nevidely, tak jsme se rozhodly, ze se tam jeste vratime.
