The Great Wall


Yesterday (Sunday) we visited the Great Wall of China. Our friends took us to a place where very few visitors go there were no crowds. We had to walk up a track through the bush. It had snowed the night before and it looked just like a Christmas card. The wall is nearly 7000km long! That's about 3 times as long as New Zealand! It ranges in age from 1000 years to only 150 years. The people are very friendly and helpful and they Reid's blonde hair - they want to touch him and hey say he is beautiful!

(just a little random comment)you know how it's said the wall of china can be seen from space? its not true!

hi Adam, hope you are having a great time in China. I have always wanted to go there. 3 times the length of NZ!! I don't think you'll have time to walk the whole wall. If you read this comment I'm sorry i didn't reply to that text you sent me I wasn't sure how much it would cost me.
See you in december
