It's 12:56pm and our coach back to the hotel leaves in just 4 minutes. I'm standing at the highest point of the Great Wall of China (which, as far as walls go, isn't too shabby).
There is simply no way we can make it back to the coach in time. Or so we believed until we stumbled upon a beautiful construction of infant dreams. Amongst their greatest wisdom the Chinese had seen fit to build a humongous slide all the way to the bottom.
Barring an Olympian-sized scalectrix-track around the great wall (which judging by this huge slide might be a faint possibility), this is as happy as tiny tots and 'big kids' like myself can be.
What a ride, the slide took approximately 3 minutes to get from the top to the bottom. How perfect is that?
Pity about the 30-minute queue though.
