Thanks to Ophelia from Pan-Tibet travel for the help.

A day or two in Beijing to rest a little (rest ... right! Read visit the forbidden city again and of course, go shopping and fill a 70 litres backpack of fake gucci's, fake louis vuitton's, fake rolex's, fake pretty-much-everything-they-can-put-their-hands-on!) and then it's off to a 6 day trek on the great wall:
