Beijing day 3

Suburban alleyway. Cable car up to the Great Wall. Start of a long hike between Jinshanling and Simatai. See how the wall snakes from one corner to the other... you can't even see the end!!! It was an 8Km hike that took 5 hours. Sweaty blogger atop the wall. Blogger overcoming challenging paths. Crumbling wall. Neck breaking incline. Long way down!!! Can you spot the "Praying Mantis"? Great Wall greenery. Fruits and nuts put out to sun. Approaching the suspension bridge. Suspension bridge and its hinges. Dam ahead. Tired blogger enjoying a can of Cherry Coke. End of the road.

One electric night in Beijing. Peking Duck and other sumptious delicacies. Hmmmmm.
