CBT 2016 Diary - May 18th

6AM and we are ready to face the magnificent Great Wall of China, Badaling side! As the young and wild youngsters that we are, we decided to reach the top using our feet and succeeded after 2 hours. Unfortunately, we couldn't take a group picture because each of us had their own climbing rythme.

It is with dead legs and sweaty foreheads that we finally find ourselves admiring a gorgeous view, crossing one thing off the bucket list.

Once down to earth again and after a long nap in the bus back to the city, our team decided to enjoy its free time in Beijing's Champs Elysées: Wang Fu Jing Road, the capital's most famous pedestrian street where luxury brands and modest little shops live in harmony.

And when this morning's adventure isn't enough, some of the bravest tried very daunting Chinese delicacies like fried scorpions or barbecue snakes. Yum!

After diner, we all get some well deserved rest, and a massage for some of us, in order to fuel some energy for the next day.
