day 7.

daylight savings has started 😛 yayayaya longer evenings, and no bedroom of sunshine at 5am..

i woke at a normal time. and bummed around for a while. christine continued on her masters, and i played iwht photos and, actually, im not really sure what I did all morning..

at lunch time, chris and me went for a walk down the street to the worlds best vietnamese salad rolls, chicken and salad with chilli for $3.50.. (bargin)..

we wandered back through the park near our place and sat on the grass and ate lunch, it was nice and relaxing. (and great to be on grass, in china, you re not allowed to walk on the grass).. just on 3km, with park detour from our place to the shop and back home..

i spent the afternoon between home and the local harvey norman, they had a special on 6×4″ prints from digital. 15 cents a print, so I got a bunch of chian trip ones done, and christine got some old ones she had ready printed (thus 2 trips, i talked her into the 2nd visit).

then this evening, i baked more carrot cake/muffins, and helped make dinner, potato and green olive tagine! yummy..

we finished the evening with the last of opertunity Oz, and the interesting doco on the space race, america vs the ussr's quest for the moon. (infinity and beyond!)..

this funny sign is 1hrs walk from one entry point and 3 h=rs walk from the other along the great wall at simatai, if you managed the walk to this point, the conditions in item 4. proberly dont exist!
