On the VELo cycling for and around gAIA


Tag 193 (04.11.2007): Golmud verlassen und verhaftet :-)

  • english
  • german

After last nights long internet session (until 2am) I got up at 8:30, went on the internet again for another 1.5 hours, had another warm shower and left the city at 11am as fast as possible to get some km (the estimated average to reach Beijing on 20th of November is about 160-170km/day).

All day long I cycled in the flat, sometimes a bit up, another time a bit down and all the time sun - a day for dreaming. To my right I could always see the brown and rocky mountains.

Then in the evening I was looking for a place to sleep as a police man called me to him and offered me to sleep in the police station - a quite secure place I thought and soon I was sitting around a table with 7 Chinese police men, telling them stories and testing their English (one understood English quite well - probably due to the “U.S. Army” pullover he wore :-)

    man, 160 /day is a lot. I thought dead-lines where for working people. Enjoy the travelling! Hope weather stays well.
