Saturday morning (after Friday night)

Sorry we didn't post anything yesterday afternoon, time ran away with us,
what with traffic jams getting into Beijing, lunch (at a very nice
resteraunt), then the silk factory with compulsary retail therapy, hotel
(via yet more traffic jams), dinner, out to the foot massage and then back
to The Happy Bar for group karoake and the odd libration.

We are just setting off for a far more tourist style day, The Forbidden
City, Tieneneman Square, Silk Market and the our celebration dinner
tonight. We have picked up the rugby and cricket results :-( sounds as
though we are better off outside the UK at the moment.

Yesterday was a complete contrast, the morning on top of the Wall, then a
return to urban sprawl (complete with 6 lane Friday afternoon traffic jams)
and back into consumerism with shopping and sight seeing.

The foot massage was amazing, even more amazing was Paul's giggling as his
sensitive feet were tickled to almost death. He had the whole room of 11
in sympathetic laughter and the poor staff were enraptured as well.

More later.

Andrew, Ann & Simon.
