Let me just tell you, getting to the Great Wall of China by public bus is not super easy.  If the Great Wall hadn’t have been so totally awe-striking, this might have been the end of us as a group.   I swear, today got off to a rough start, but when we were finally on the right bus and when we finally saw the Great Wall – it was worth it. All I can say is that the Great Wall of China is really, really great.  We also rewarded ourselves with a special treat and went out to the Hard Rock Cafe, Beijing, to unwind from our trip thus far.
