Beijing


Here we are along the Sacred Way to a visit of the Changling Tomb (Ming Dynasty).

I just wanted to post a bit of our China visit before I go back to the torture that is the internet on Board the ship. I'll update our visit to China in the next couple of days.







Keep going......







A peek into "The Forbidden City"above.




Tian'anmen Square and the wall separating the "Forbidden City".













The Great Wall where Sandy and I climbed to a wonderful vantage point and were properly and thouroughly amazed. You almost want to pinch yourself that you are actually standing on the wall.


Keep going......




A small section of the lobby of the Peninsula hotel.




Armani, Burberry, Louis Vouitton, Tiffany & CO., and more much more are all located in the hotel. Marble and flowers and works of art are everywhere. It's gorgeous. So is Beijing! The architecture is magnificent and freestyle and not at all what I was expecting. This could be one of my favorite places. The people are very friendly and our tour guide is knowledgable and witty.
Till next time.....

After reading of your travels and seeing the pictures, Anna wants me to be a nurse on a cruise ship so that she can go on a RTW cruise!!! Not a bad idea (but maybe a little later in life?)
