Apologies 1st people, I have put some extra blogs on, but didn't publish them so that's why you couldn't see them Col. My fault, I'm stupid. (not that you didn't know that)
Well I'm now in Xian, it's a bit South and West of Beijing. It's where the Terracotta Warriors are and I'll be off to see them tomorrow.
We left Beijing on Fri and drove to the Great Wall, it was cool, really amazing to see. Trecked across it, 10k, it's far. It was difficult as well as the isn't much of a wall in places, more a load of rubble, everyone was knackered at the end. That eve we just chilled at a hotel.
The next day we went to Beijing for a bit and then got a train too Xian, that's an experience. There were 30,000 people in the station, it was hectic. We were there for a while so chilled, had some beers before the train. Got the train about 9pm, it was overnight, but that was mad as they kept changing platforms so thousands of people were running between the platforms and our train was delayed so we were trying not to get trampled.
Got on the train eventually and it was cosy to say the least. Luckily we were all in compartments together, so had some more drinks and chilled, but I got about 1hrs sleep as it was boiling. I'm not a happy bunny today.
Today we just been in Xian which is a really nice, ancientcity so it's really good to look round. Off to the muslim 1/4 later for some food later, which should be interesting and before you all say I've been eating the food, been pretty good actually. I may comeback a changed person. (lol)
Not too much more to say as not done too much since last time. All is good, the people I'm with are cool, having a really good time with them all. Hope your all cool and I'll publish this one so you can see it, unlike the previous ones.
