Poor Nicole is really sick, in bed all day with a fever and painful stomach aches. Trine is also bedridden with the same thing. I don't think that either of them will be able to ride tomorrow...which is really sad for Nicole, who has done every inch since Paris. Tomorrow's ride is a challenge, long day with a mountain pass, so it would be really tough to do while sick. Hope that this is not the start of another epidemic.
No laundry at the hotel, but there was a woman in a tiny (3m x 2m) storefront who did all of my laundry for $3.
I had Frank, one of our local guides, write the names of some good Chinese dishes on a paper for me, to avoid another chicken-head debacle. Food today was much better as a result.
The local internet cafe's could not access the blogger website, so I couldn't update this blog. I'll try again at tomorrow's hotel. Hope that Chinese censorship has not caught up with me.
I repacked my two bags today, moving my tent and camping equipment into my permanent bag (that I can only access on rest days). My daily bag is now practically empty, and will not require the precise packing and strained zipping that I have become accustomed to over the past 5 months.
Interesting building in town, with a main road running through the center of it:
