20/2/2012 Beijing, China

We had a slower start to the day, Chris wasn’t feeling great so Andrea and I went off and explored the Silk Market. We eventually mastered the tube system and got a few bargains before getting back to the hostel and getting some banking and posting done - I sent 44 post cards!

We met up with Claire again then headed out to yet another AMAZING restaurant. We had a few drinks at a little bar/pub before dinner which was great, Mongolian throat music playing and all!

For dinner we were asked if we had any allergies and then they just brought loads of dishes out for us to try which was really good.

We went back to the bar for a few more drinks then made our way back to the hostel after farewelling Claire who was off to Shanghai first thing in the morning.
