The Gobi Gals arrive in Beijing!!


Skype call received from Belle & Nadine on Saturday 28th July at about 1700 hours UK time (around Midnight in Beijing)... 

They had a gruelling train journey from UB, Mongolia, arriving after some 29 hours. They are settled in their hotel & getting to grip with a 37c daytime temperature with a very humid & smoggy environment... 

During their stay in China they will have trouble reaching the outside world through Facebook & the blog (blocked sites in China) but will attempt occasional updates through Hotmail, which they hope will work.  So, if there aren't many of the usual updates that's the reason... 

They are both in good health & looking forward to playing the tourists in & around Beijing... 

They are due to arrive back in the UK on Sunday 12th August, flying back from Beijing...
