Welll after a long delay on the tarmac in london we have finally arrived. Mad spot this as if you don't have your chinese up to scratch then you need to rely on your charades abilities...
Anyhow starting our big trip tomorrow for 21 days beginning at the great wall, went to the summer palace yesterday which was fab but takes a full day to see it as its quite a bit outside the city centre.. the food is bonkers not at all like your chinese on a friday night back home and they certainly dont do curry/gravy chips! went to a night food market and we couldnt distunguish what anything was but it all smelt great! Heading to the lama temple today so we will upload some pics tomorrow so you dont foget what we look like!
Love Ger and Deb
