In beijing on day 4.

We are in beijing, safe and sound, and sick.
So much for our travelling before sickness hit us, Sickness hit us before we even landed in beijing.
Mark was very sick all of the first day, his belly rejecting stuff from both ends. After a day of slowly resting, his belly got alot better, only to have muscle spasms and headaches the next day. This all happened on the two days that the place in which we were staying was having not only electricity outages, but also water outages.

Having gotten alot better since that first day we have done alot of sight seeing, TIAN TAN( temple of heaven), Tiananmen, Forbidden City( mark realises why its called a city now), Wang Fu Jing( a major shopping strip that looks like Tokyo), and of course the GREAT WALL. Photos are currently being uploaded on our photo site, please have a look soon.

we head off to Xian Tommorrow night, and will be in Xian by 7.30 on Saturday morning. Will probably hop straight off to Yanan after that, but will keep in contact often after that.

when we get into Yanan we will have more photos and news.

hear from us soon
