Great Wall of China - Beijing - July 2007

We spent the whole day walking this area of the Great Wall. Good thing we took our own snacks & water since there are no shops along the way. Well maybe a few stops for beer, but even then, very few places to buy anything. Also, would you believe there are NO bathrooms along the entire stretch. Almost 6 hours of walking and no bathroom. Yeah, guess you gotta hold it! By the way, that's me in the orange colored shirt.

Fun Pics at The Great Wall of China - July 2007

I have to admit it was a bit scary at times to look down. I got a little dizzy on the almost 90 degree drops of stairs!!! Andrew did much better than I did. Maybe because he consumed more beer than I did in that 90+ degree / humid weather.

The Great Wall of China July 2007

This is just a sample of the section of the Great Wall that we toured
for about 6 hours in somewhere around 90-100 deg weather.
Unfortunately we got a hazy day, so not great for picture taking,
but if it had been really sunny, I don't think we would have been able to walk even half the distance that we did that day! It was extremely hot and humid.
