China

Hello there,

We are back on the blog and are now in Hong Kong.. We got here last night... so far it had rained loads.. we went out this morning and got our visas for Vietnam.. they were done within the hour and we got soaked in the process.. Thankfully it has stopped raining and we are off to the races tonight which should be fun...

All in all we had a fantastic time in China, the group we were travelling were brilliant and our faviourite things we did were;

* Great Wall
* Terracotta Warriors
* Bike ride on Xian City Wall
* Rickshaw ride in Beijings Hutongs

Plus a few things we have already forgotten... eating with chopsticks was fun and all in all the food was good, we eat in loads of local restaurants and even Lucy got on alright with the food...

Some pics and vids from China below..

Lots of Love
Lee and Lucy xxxx
