Beijing Highlights - Day 2, 30th Nov

It's all about the Great Wall today.
After almost 3 hours van ride - we arrived at Mutianyu, Great Wall of China

Shopping started at the foothill already.

Took a skylift to the wall.




Our tour guide, Catherine (in pink) leading us up the wall. 
Had to pass 6 Towers to complete the climb.








Not an easy climb. Nadia gave up at the 4th Tower
but Daddy wouldn't let her. After much persuasion, 
she managed to arrive at the 'finishing line' like all of us




We made it! Family shot at the Great Wall.

We had the most fun toboggan ride downhill. Check out the videos here:

Adam slowing down everyone to irritate Mummy.

The view coming down - Nadia rode with Daddy. 
Nadia navigated the tobbogan while Daddy took this video.
