The night had been good. No filth, no noise. All I could hear was the wind blowing outside, which made for a very cozy feeling in my little room.

…but still, I really didn’t feel like walking anymore, so today it was all about the road signs:

…another 100km through those empty spaces…

Sometimes I would see a mine building or something in the distance:

And every now and then a road sign would indicate that I was slowly getting closer:

The new highway I had been walking on yesterday hadn’t been completed yet in this area:

It wasn’t that good to walk on, so I eventually just stuck to the road:

…and kept on walking like I imagined the camels would do – slowly, but at constant speed.

Then eventually I got to another 陕西补胎 (Shaanxi tire-repair):

The people from yesterday’s place had been telling me about this one.

Apparently, they were all family.

[PS: I finished redesigning the whole "portfolio" section of the site. Now it's one picture for every month on the road, and it should load much faster than before. Enjoy!]
