More Beijing Photos

Simatai Great Wall. You have no idea how difficult it's been to find an internet connection in Xi'an fast enough to load up this piccys. And next we're going into bits of China far less well connected... There may be gaps in the picture parts of the blog as a warning but we'll do our best. Anyway, here is Gary as we ascended to the top of the amazingly jagged crest of Simatai. But if you look at the photos below (taken in the opposite direction) you get an impression of how wiggly the wall is - and how far it goes! It just winds on and on into the distance...
