Day 22 - Beijing The Forbidden Palace

Up and off to the Forbidden Palace this morning before Colin has to catch his flight home. There were huge line-ups for tickets, but once we got inside the Forbidden Palace is so huge that it didn't seem crowded at all. It is basically a series of courtyards and buildings. The gardens were beautiful.

Once Colin had left to get his flight, Cameron and I went down a local (narrow, old street) to get some noodles. It was interesting ordering as I wasn't quite sure what was in the dish - but it was very good. The restaurant was on the edge of the night market which has a multitude of fear factor dishes, lizards and scorpions on a stick for example.
