Beijing (Part 2)

I was determined to make it to the Great Wall on this trip and I succeeded! We were up bright & early. Left the hotel at 7:00 am to beat the traffic & tourists. Definitely a wise decision even though we were all sleep deprived after getting to the hotel at midnight.

I'm so happy I finally managed to visit the Great Wall. This was definitely a once in a lifetime trip. Since we made it there so early it was incredibly awe inspiring and peaceful at the top.

Beijing #3 tomorrow. Gotta spend my hard earned cash! ;)
