Friday 13th May

Today was the last day of trekking we were on the wall after quite a steep climb up the hillside from one if the villages we were staying in for the night. It was very hot today and we all suspected something was going on at our last stop as we were told to stay at one side of the towers where we had lunch. Was so good to have a break as we were all really shattered by this point. I hadnt had any diet coke since leaving Britain as they don't do diet stuff generally in China but one wee Chinese lady had some in her cool box and was selling cans to tourists for 10juan which is equal to £1. By the time I got there she had none left and seeing my distress ran off to the next tower to get me some which was about 20mins away!!! I was so grateful I gave her 20juan for the favour she saluted me! Lol



When we eventually were allowed to go through this tower we walked up the hill and were greeted by the organisers and the guides who were holding up a banner to mark the finish of our trek thanking us for all we did to help the Alzheimers Society. Then we all got sprayed with Champagne!!
We then got to choose how we wanted to get down off the wall we could either take a chair lift or toboggan down... No prizes fir guessing my mode if transport!!!
Toboggan all the way.... Was amazing!!



We then had a 2 hour ride in the coach and were taken for a back, shoulder and foot massage which was amazing... So good to get your feet in your flip-flops and out of the boots!! Was a total hoot in there. When we arrived there was a line up of 28 masseurs who clapped us in as if we were national hero's!! It was quite moving think hysteria was beginning to take over as we were all so shattered!!
I couldn't stop laughing at first when my girl started to touch my feet. She was finding it all quite amusing as well...
Was the perfect ending to the trek.
