Shanghai day 4 - Great Wall - 12th Sep 2012

Shanghai day 4 - Great Wall Ni Hao

Was an early start for the second day of our tour.
Eager to leave, we couldn't wait to see more.

The Jade Factory, was our first stop.
Lewis made the cleaners, reach for a mop.

The first of our team, to be sick.
Made us all reach for our hand sanitizer quick.

On the Great Wall we did a Fling.
The highlight so far of our time in Beijing.

We all thought our legs were going to die.
As the climb up the wall started to reach the sky.

Julie and Robyn became Chinese empresses.
When the dressed up in traditional dresses.

Lunch was next, to get some food.
Our chopstick technique has definitely improved.

After lunch we climbed back on our bus.
To head to the Summer Palace without a fuss.

At the palace, we were a sight to see.
With all the Chinese acting like paparazzi.

A waiata was next sung by us all on a boat.
We were lucky to survive; it didn't look like it could float.

Traditional hats bought by Harriet and Emma.
Snatched straight from their heads, it caused such a dilemma.

At the end of the day, on the way to tea.
We passed the Birds Nest, what a sight to see.

The acrobat show came lucky last.
Boy o boy, what a blast.

Lots of strong arms, flexibility and sparkly gear.
Gave the boys some ideas for their lifts next year.

The days come to an end, we just heard about Christchurch’s bad weather.
For all of us here in China we just had the best day ever!!

Zaijen from Emma Cropper and Sarah Robson.
