The Great Wall of China - Day 15

Just a quick update before we hit our bunks:

-climbed a part of the wall today, wasn't easy, but definitly worth it! More of this later on...

-saw a bit of Beijing's suburbs, and the 'countryside' around Beijing. Through a cab window, but still.

-finally visited the Buddhist Temple that lays right by our hostel.

-played with our hostel dog, Moumou. Watching Moumou jump and bite our driver's arse is always enertaining.

-decided to be cultural, and saw a Chinese acrobatic performance. Impressing, although we mostly had fun watching Chinese audience. And we felt a tad under-dressed in our hiking gear.

- learned that taxis are ridic cheap. 20 cents for a subway ride anywhere is not bad, but neither is 3 euros for a 20 min taxi drive.

Last day in Beijing tomorrow, let's hope we finally escape the cold weather... g'night!
