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!
