With no fixed plans for today, we enjoyed a sleep-in this morning. We made it downstairs to breakfast just after 10:00 am, feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing in our room, before going out early in the evening for a walk down the Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. We stopped along the way to do a little shopping.

When we got back to our room, we found a lovely letter and some treats from Elias, the lovely young lady who checked us in when we arrived last Saturday.
