Hi, Kate and Paul both slept like logs for our first night in Beijing. Been to the great wall this morning- WOW. Made me feel a little dizzy being that high, especially the cable car- good job the kids were there to hold my hand. Had a huge Chinese feast for dinner with revolving table- Paul sampled everything!!! Off to birds nest this afternoon and the silk museum. Hope everyone is ok x

  3. Hi to everyone,

    Sounds like you have had an amazing day despite being a little tired. I loved the Great Wall when I went to set the project up and couldn't believe seeing it curl into the distance forever........An amazing sight! The pictures look incredible and you look great. Well done Paul for trying to eat absolutely everything. Hope you enjoyed the Bird's Nest Stadium and the silk farm.
    I was at Herrington Park yesterday with Rhys and Juliet. Miss Bell was there too and we were absolutely soaked and covered in mud. More like a mud race!!!! 38 degress must be a welcome change from the weather here. Take care and look after each other. love from Mrs Thompson xxx

  8. Hello Paul, hello everyone,
    Dad here again. It appears as if day two in Beijing was a busy day & I hope you in particular Paul are coping with the heat?!!! It certainly looks as though you all enjoyed it as the pictures are brilliant!!! I was especially interested to hear the story of the Forbidden City, it's very interesting to know the history behind it & how privileged you all must have felt being there, I'm dead jealous son!!!! I hope you all have a safe & enjoyable flight to Harbin & may you all enjoy the rest of your stay in China, it really looks a fantastic country!!! Paul, I hope your diary is coming along because I simply can't wait to hear of your stay there, enjoy Harbin son!!! Till next time, take care, miss you LOADS!!! All our love,
    Dad, Anona & Bump!!! XXX
