Hi everyone, We have had a fantastic first day. We went to the great wall and the views were amazing! Kate and Paul ran along it with ease, however Miss Hepworth struggled and crawled along, as the height was a little too much for her. We are imagining that we will come back a little heavier- as we had lunch and tea in a traditional Chinese restaurants: eating Chinese banquets. The Peking duck was delicious! Paul is being really adventurous and trying everything, whereas Kate is sticking to her favourites. In the afternoon we visited the Olympic stadium (the crows nest) and the cube. The weather here is glorious- at 38 degrees, as soon as we step outside we are hot. Miss Hepworth is making sure that we are coated from head to toe in suntan lotion and drinking as much water as we can stomach. Tomorrow we visit the forbidden city. We look forward to hearing from everyone and hope you enjoy our pictures. Love Miss Hepworth, Kate and Paul xxx
