This is our fifth night and should have been only our second hotel after three nights camping - but we had to check into a hotel last night as Maggie fell over chasing an errant toilet roll (these things are like gold dust) and badly strained / pulled her hamstring. Luckily there is a doctor on the truck and bed rest he advised should sort it out- let's hope he is is right as we still have a long way to go. The pic below was taken today so she is still looking pretty good!
The camping we did manage was great, as we have to shop and cook as well - the local markets are just amazing, full of everything you could imagine, animal vegetable or mineral! I introduced a few more folk to the delights of porridge too. We camped one night on a banana plantation in the middle of nowhere and the other night inside a closed down steel works - the night we missed was probably the best sight - the car park of the rather nice hotel we were in, at the Stone Forest in Shilin in Yunnan. Such fun!
We have two nights before setting off again towards Dali
