Great Wall!!!!!!!!!! The views look great, Crickey you must have been Knackered after that, Don't think i'd have Strength or Energy PHEW!!!!!!!!!
Talking about Flies that about the same as in Aus!!!!! get a either a Corked Hat or one with a Net over the face Looks silly but better than Swatting flies all the Time, you'll definately need one in the outback. Great to hear about your Travels.
Traffic Wardens!!! You have to be kidding - It's a free for all out here. Can't cross a road without a local holding my hand, its so bad - they even drive up the pavement at you xx
Just lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve the red and yellow traffic wardens doing their synchronised exercises for balancing the yin and yang of wrongly-parked vehicles... or are they really JUST dancers???
Are you in the red lantern district? And didn't your mothers EVER warn you about THAT sort of place??
Like the en suite shower through the ceiling!
Brief Encounter - NOT! Wonderful pics of wonderful experiences!
If we place our slipper orders with you, can you bring back a wide selection of colours for us here??? Just a thought...
Keep on keeping on! We all need a fix of your blog here as we slide into autumn.

England 3 Russia 0 Don't worry Chris by the time England beat Russia we were on the border crossing into China.
By the way, nice to hear from you - Hope all's well.
From England with love Hi,
Sounds like you having a great time, a bit scary with the pickpockets though!!! but whatever you do don't mention to the locals about England beating Russia last weekend 3-0 you' ll have more than pickpockets to contend with then.
Take care
Chris & Jan
I agree with worried of Hereford Haven't you got a Money belt Ron? i.e. one that goes next to your Skin that would be the Safest Place!!!!!!!
Don't take chances put everything in a Safe Place,
Try getting a Pr of pants with a pocket in ????????????
Eeek! don't trust the foreigners!! Good grief! Pickpockets everywhere, and aren't they GOOD??
Thank goodness you weren't done over: 3 attempts, wasn't it??
Have you considered [frowns over glasses at you] stuffing yer valuables in a less-accessible orifice, or at least under 17 layers of liberty bodices???

2 Brits off around the world on August 19th 2007 and don't they just hate us for it!!!!
No! - They think it's great that a couple of oldies have got the guts to go backpacking for 12 months.
We are no strangers to travelling and have already experienced white water rafting in Colorado, "Skim" has also been brave enough to do a bungee jump.
OK we are in our 50s, but it doesn't mean we are going to sit back and wait to die.
