Beijing Les and kay

Showing off my skills on the Beijing underground I headed off to the airport and without any hitches meet Kay after her flight from Europe. With true style I cruised the underground back to the hotel in the centre of Beijing without any mishaps and we caught up and then went out exploring and eating a great meal at the Chinese local eatery. Kay was a bit jet lagged after the 14 hours of flying and needed some TLC including an 80 min foot and back massage for both of us around the corner which effectively put both of us into seventh heaven!! Eight heaven came this morning for us when we headed to the Silk Markets for the endless bartering for the best price after 8 hours with new baggage and too many bags we headed out to the subway and home to the hotel. It was a bit of a mission carrying the numerous goodies including a telescope!!! on the crowded underground also requiring us to change trains midway. Heading out for dinner and a bing pi jue ( beer cold ) now to the lakes restaurant area Chow

Tomorrow head to the airport to fly south to Guillen for seven days of exploring and seeing the real China.
