I hope to be able to pick up the new Visa tomorrow, and am looking forward to walking the Great Wall. The weather has suddenly turned nice and warm in Datong. By warm, I mean above zero degrees. Almost feels like spring. But there is still some cold weather ahead.
My left knee is slowly getting better, and I hope it will be good to walk on with the weight of the backpack in a few days time.
Takk for praten, og lykke til med visum idag!
The “birds” your photo of today shows are Ruddy Shelducks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruddy_Shelduck.
This is a typical bird of water(!) in the desersts of Inner Asia. Probably good tasting …
