Day 6 - Last Day in Beijing

We found another park that was 10 times as big as the last one. We decided to spend a few hours at the park then head back to Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant ( Most recommended by the locals).

There are some crazy buildings in Beijing
Grabbing some snacks for the boat ride

The first thing we done at the park was to jump in a boat for a relaxing cruise around the lake. We stocked up on some light snacks and headed towards the water.

Everyone took a turn controlling the boat. After Anthony had his turn we banned him from driving. every time he saw a bird or bush or rock he would turn to take a photo and lose control, we went through bushes, smashed into other boats, and into a bridge.

There was a obstacle course in the trees but we couldn't figure out how to get the bike up there

After spending a few hours in the park communist Vince got hungry for some duck and got very grumpy, so we caught  taxi to the duck restaurant.

The wait for duck was at least 3 hours. We walked away very disappointed
Communist Vince was not happy at all
Communist Vine was inconsolable
We had to save James from another shady looking store.

  7. Also Sharbel hate to be a grammar nazi, or communist in this case but it's : 'the first thing we did at the park' not 'done'
