Just one phrase - Beijing is awesome! Fabulous people, great fun - the Wall, the Summer Palace, Forbidden city, what more do I need to say......
(I had written a much fuller and stupendous blog, but it crashed when I tried to change the font, so now I'm going to give you the much more edited version.)
People - great, friendly, no attitude, loved Beijing because they were delightful to deal with. Taxi drivers, hotel staff, hawkers - a simple Ni Hao (Nee how - hello) and you got a big smile, and no where near the hassle you get elsewhere.
Space - having been in HK for way too long (Trent & I were well overdue for a holiday) the parks, the streets, the lack of highrise was just fantastic - 2 favourite places - Great Wall and Summer Palace.....
October is the month to go - no sand storms, no stinking heatwaves, no freezing winters - just perfect 24 degree days, and fresh evenings. Perfect.

Hello Nikki and Trent!
Lovely to see what you're up to at the moment and that you've found somewhere to spread out a bit. I am, as usual, quite envious of your adventures and particularly this destination...
Thanks for keeping us posted!
