After our morning on the Wall we were ready to go down for lunch. Here's our view as we approach the Mutianyu Wall complex. There are restaurants here - including a Subway - but our guide, Vivie, has something better in mind!
No sooner had we stepped off the chairlift than we are accosted by two loud and threatening warriors wielding swords!! We were terrified! Anne begged for her life! (They were actually two 75-year-old local farmers making some extra pocket money posing for pictures. We all had the time of our life!)
We drove down the mountain through forests
and small rural villages....
to a country restaurant "where the local farmers eat" to have our lunch. The decor is most unusual with tropical plants.....
and rippling channels in the floor with fish.
The delicious food arrived in minutes.... green beans fried with chilli, a dish of mixed mushrooms, chicken and pancakes.
On the way to our next destination we had to travel through a rural area and Anne asked Vivie if she would take us to visit a country village...........
The little three-wheeled vehicles were popular everywhere for carrying goods. Note the coin operated children's ride on the footpath across the street! Vivie is about to take us into the local supermarket....
This store catered for every need. We bought a selection of the biscuits piled up here.
The Deli had a fabulous choice of food........
Next door was a fruit and vegetable market with a huge array of fresh produce.
