My Travels

This is a day by day journal, so in the future I can look back and reflect on my experiences and those I have shared them with.

The Great Wall - Mutianyu to Juyongguan

CHINA | Friday, 24 October 2008 | Views [80]

A short bus transfer took us to Juyongguan which is very commercialized and touristy part of wall. The acscent was extremely steep with hundreds of steps and hundreds of Chinese clambering up and the wall. Many of the Chinese took great delight in having their picture taken with me and Ian, (another guy from the trip). Very funny.

This was to be the final section of the wall, and to be honest I was “walled out” by this point. Reflecting back on the last few days in has been a wonderful experience and one I'll never forget. A wonderful time and shared with a great bunch of people.

Heading back into Beijing and went out in the evening for a celebratory meal and drinks in the city.
