Last bushcamp in China - no more until Mongolia, but then it is 3 weeks of bush camping and Gers. The Chinese don't really do camping and so we've got limited options / more of the things we need to see are city based.
Dinner was cooked by Claire, or guide, giving us a taste of proper home cooked Chinese food - it was delicious. Rice, spicy pork and potato soup like thing (don't drink the soup, it's too spicy), beef & onions, egg plant, leafy greens and a marinated cucumber thing. Yum!
Falling asleep in my tent (5), looking at the starts through the window, whilst a few feet from a section of The Great Wall is really surprisingly cool.
Waking up and the first thing to see out of the tent is The Great Wall is just as good.
