The morning after our happening Friday night we planned to wake up at 9am to embark on our trip to the Great Wall. Most unfortunately however, we all overslept and only managed to leave the house slightly after 11am!
We dragged our tired butts down to Mcdonald’s for brunch.
Healthy Bong was exclaiming over the calories in our fries. We pointedly chose to ignore him.
We decided that it was way too late in the day to head out of the city where the section of the Great Wall was, especially since we missed the morning tourist bus and were rather clueless as to how to get down by ourselves and went instead down to the southern part of the city where our favourite tea house was, leaving the expedition to another day.
THE BONG PAU CONNECTION
Bong and his err manly rose tea
After several “paos” of teas and rose cookies (Bong loved them so much we went to the wholesaler so he could bring some back for his family) Pauline and I reluctantly agreed to go with them to the temple of heaven for the second time.
It was better than expected! In my opinion, TOH is the most beautiful structures in Beijing, and managed to take my breath away for the second time.
WOOT couple shot sorry guys
Gay gets anti-gravitational with his practical but obiang to the max crocs

Pretending we’re Huanzhu again..
HOCHOY! We’re so pleased that its not just the two of us anymore. Last time when we went sightseeing we would have to badger random people to help us take a picture of us together! NO LONGER!
And because it was a BLEEDING HOT DAY, our top two essentials:
WATER!
SUNSCREEN!!!
And lots and lots and lots of shade:
Hiding from the sun behind one of the temple buildings
