En heldag på muren närmast Beijing. Vi såg eldmoln!! Annars så tyckte jag väl att Badaling ÄR tråkigare än Mutianyu vart vi åkte första gången jag var i Beijing. Men jaja…då har man set den också:) Plus att vi tog tåget med sedvanliga kapplöpningen på stationen för att hinna få sittplats. Skitroligt!! Alla sprintar på som fan får tåget har stannat såååå långt borta vid plattformen. Folk är på gränsen till slaganfall men rätt glada ändå:)
Det finns en hel stad tillbyggt för murbesökarna så inga problem att hitta mat, kaffe, krimskrams etc. Vi träffade ett gäng med ascoola munkar från Qinghai som var i Beijing och semestrade lite. Det var meningen att vi skulle ut och haft te med dom nån av dagarna dom var kvar i stan, men det blev sen inte av.
