Location

Weiziping, China


 
The second day we kept climbing and cleared the first pass just over 2000 meters. We have been cycling here before and were eager to leave known roads behind. In the afternoon we passed the last village we had seen before.
The weather was not as good as the day before and the descents were pretty cold. We reached the bottom of the first valley and were both kind of tired. It was also getting late and we started looking for a place to camp or a hotel. It got closer and closer to sunset and we couldnt find anything. At 6.30 Andreas asked a woman who told us it would be 10 km to the nearest hotel and it was all uphill. While we were discussing what to do she invited us reluctantly to stay in her house and we accepted immediatley.
It turned out that we had asked her husband just before and when she found out we had talked to him before she loosened up a bit. We payed them 20 yuan for the both of us.
