      Badaling Section Great Wall - Day 7

      October 24, 2015 in China ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      We set off for our last day on the wall relatively early , around 8am.
      As we had got lots planned for the evening to celebrate.
      I could sense mixed emotions , excitement , nerves and sadness due to this adventure is coming to an end.
      By the time we got to our set off point and stretched , we set off at 9am,
      It was 635m pure up hill torture , then 635m down. No flat.
      This was tough but we all dug deep and smashed it within two hours ,
      Pulled out a record time apparently from what our Tour Leader told us
      Lots of tears , hugs and photos were all done at the top ,
      It was such an amazing feeling to get to the top after that two hour climb.
      Nice casual stroll down to the bottom , we were met by a charity challenge finish line , I HAD FINISHED THE CHALLENGE!
      That one was for you Dad!

      Feeling absolutely exhausted and my legs on fire and feel like led ,
      Mr Shay our bus driver got the beers in to congratulate us.

      Arrived in our accommodation , had a while to freshen up before heading out tonight.
      Tonight we surprisingly were going out to a fancy chinese restaurant ,
      Then to a Acrobatic Show which was insane, and lastly for a massage to try and relieve the pain.
      Amazing evening , just what you need after what you put your body through , but i would do it all again !

      Beijing city tour tomorrow! , can't wait. 6:30am start.
