day 157: 沙塘 (shatang) - 静宁 (jingning) = 30,2km

This is me after precisely two thousand kilometers:

More hair (January 18th 2008).

And another reason to get down:

This time unfortunately, I wasn’t able to convince anyone to join me on the dancefloor.

Anyways the old guy in the back said I had done a good job.

I’m going to take that as a good omen.

That and the good weather:

There were tents from the Chinese Red Cross scattered next to the road everywhere:

Dunno what for exactly. I could have asked someone I guess, but then I didn’t.

Sometimes it’s nice to just wonder.

Like…

…what’s up with the music?

Imaginations - sometimes more interesting than the truth…

Sinbad the Sailor:

a desperado:

a sub run ashore:

a desert caravan:

…or…

…well, Pippi Longstocking and her friends of course!

I had a good rest up in the hills somewhere:

Let the sun work on my tan for two hours and then strapped my shoes back on and got back on the road:

There’s a cost to almost everything.

Today’s price for a beautiful suntan:

Walking in the dark.

When I got to 静宁, it was already getting late very very late:

No more dancing for another 972,5km.

I was so tired.
