Summary:
Great, but hard day, out to the Great Wall of China. Finding the meeting point was easy, and check-in was fine.
Good commentary on the trip to the wall, and good explanation of how the MuBus facilities work. (Probably too much explanation!)
Lunch was adequate, fair quality, and lots of it.
Good trip back.
