Hello everybody,

There is a time on each tour you touch ground with the bottom of motivation. This is what happend to me during the last 4 weeks. Beeing stomach sick since I left Gilgit for most of the time and having seen the hospital twice I felt quite demotivated. I had lost 5kg reaching skinny 69kg. In addition the train trip to Hongkong was very demanding as well- one way took 6 days, 90hrs sitting on approximately 6500km.

So my 2nd stay in Kashgar was like vacation. I met a lot of nice people, more than 15 cyclists (!!) and I had enought time to fully recover. During the last 9 days I regained all my weight thanks to the good food and a lot of chinese beer (which is actually cheaper than water) I stuffed in all the days. My confidence is back and I feel fit to hit the road again.

Enjoy the last pics and stay tuned

Bye from Kashgar, Bambi T
