Mao Zedong once said that "you are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall." Well today, we became "hero's" and climbed that most famous wall at the Juying Pass AND have a certificate to prove it to those who know us and probably doubt that we did actually climb the Wall. It is a truly amazing feat of engineering.
On the way back we stopped at a Jade factory and saw how some of the sculptures were made. And after a brief stop outside the Birds Nest Stadium made famous by the 2008 Olympics for which is was built we headed back to our hotel for a short rest before heading out to the theatre to watch a Chinese Acrobatic Show. A busy day but I rather suspect it's one we won't be forgetting in a hurry.
