After a quiet morning of breakfast and listening to the disappointing Canucks hockey game, we strolled out into the streets of Beijing and went for lunch and a bit of afternoon shopping.
Lilianna napped in the stroller while we had sushi for lunch. Jazzy has suddenly taken to eating the salmon sushi and really really loves it! You have to be quick and get some as soon as the plate hits the table or it is all gone in a flash!
Ali needed some shorts and a shirt so we went shopping for some clothes and then back to the hotel by 3:00 pm. The group rendez-voused in the lobby for the hotel at 3:30 so that we could go to the Canadian Embassy and pick up the baby's Visas. They were all ready and this time we actually got to go inside a portion of the Embassy! I had to hand over my cell phone which was put into a small drawer and I was given a ticket to claim it back when we exited the embassy. We also had to pass through a metal detector and have our bags Xrayed before gaining access to a the inside of the building. We waited in a waiting room and were then handed large envelopes which had our daughters' Chinese passports with
the Visas inside.
We now just have to wait until Firday to go home! We cannot wait!
We are hoping to knock a few more places off of our list of things to see. We want to go see the Olympic buildings and the Science Museum, the Temple of Heaven, the Beijing Zoo, the Summer Palace and of course the Forbidden City!!
Just a few things left to do and we shall see how we are feeling tomorrow and which ones we want to visit. Only two days left really so shall have to prioritize!
Lilianna had a wonderful bath tonight with her mamma and really loves the water now. She splashes away with delight and does not mind getting it all over her face!
