Counting the days

100 (百) Days on the Road !

We’re even impressed with ourselves. Special reward: a late afternoon nap 🙂

Of the 4500 hours on the road so far I doubt that V and I have spent a total of more than one separated by a distance greater than 10m. It all comes down to the fact that my V is just awesome (still calculating her position on the Hotdog scale) and I love her more every day !

So what to do to celebrate ? How about an hour on city buses followed by 6 hours on an inter-city bus (mildly frightening at times) and another half hour city bus to get to the next destination. Sounds just about right. We are now in Dali (another travelers paradise with all the toppings) in what seems to be a magnificent hostel (The Lilly Pad) just outside the old city wall. We are both exhausted but I think we may go in search of a well known bar (rumored to be fully stocked) in the hope of finding a good scotch. Cheers all.

      Lol. Our Chinese is terrible. What few words we have learnt, locals struggle to understand us when we say them. So we have resorted back to universal sign language, drawing pictures or finding teenagers who speak English. It’s surprising how far you can travel in this manner.
