Yes, I took some Pliny the Elder to China…
Just before our trip to China, it occurred to me that my checked baggage was well under the weight limit. And, I just happened to have 4 remaining bottles from my last case of Pliny.
They were rationed throughout my trip, with the last one cracked after hiking just beyond the 5th tower south of our entrance to The Great Wall, beyond where any other tourist had visited (so far) that morning.
Totally worth it.
