Yes I had, and I am so pleased I had that wonderful opportunity!<br />Sandi, to answer your question, no, the wall is not like this all the way along, there are only sections that have been repaired. You can only imagine what an amazing sight it must have been when it was complete!Poppy (aka Val)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16587141292168333896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939009967831769693.post-82788905620963563662011-07-25T15:30:05.722+01:002011-07-25T15:30:05.722+01:00Poppy, thanks for sharing your trip with us, I nev...Poppy, thanks for sharing your trip with us, I never knew much about China until you have been opening our eyes with your journey's!Michael (Light-In-A-Box)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06384247789221839215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939009967831769693.post-61379692001154651962011-07-23T15:25:30.766+01:002011-07-23T15:25:30.766+01:00What superb pictures.

I wonder if the wall is in such good condiion for it's whole length.<br />Apart from an enjoyable meal, I'll bet it was good to get back and sat down at the restaurant in the evening - my feet are having a wee twinge just thinking about the afternoons walk (I'd still most certainly jump at the chance to see the wall if it came my way)Sandy's witteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009803939431014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939009967831769693.post-8774882615299115162011-07-22T13:13:48.686+01:002011-07-22T13:13:48.686+01:00Hi Poppy these photo's are amazing I can see t...Hi Poppy these photo's are amazing I can see that you must have been in awe , these sights are wonderful.
