Dag 29. Lijiang til Lugu Søen, 229 km
Vi forlod
hotellet i Lijiang, efter endnu en kinesisk morgen mad, som jeg kunne have
været foruden. Stegte ris, majs, lidt frugt og te. I dag foregik hele kørselen
på bjergveje. Kina er et fantastisk smukt land og indtil videre har vi været
igennem nogle flotte bjergrige områder.
Amazing views - Flot udsigt
Vi forsøgte at
tage videoer af bjergvejene, for at vise, at der mange steder ikke engang et
rækværk. Jeg tror, at vi kørte over mindst 5 bjergpas i dag.
Vi stoppede
undervejs på en lille ”kone-mand” restaurant, hyggeligt sted. Når man skulle på
toilettet, kom man lige forbi deres 3 grise, 5 høns og en hund. Toilettet var
et hul i jorden, som man kunne skræve over – hyggeligt. Men maden var god.

Vi nåede frem til
Lugu Søen, og sikke et flot syn der mødte os. Søen er 50 km2. Desværre regnede
det, men lidt billeder fik vi alligevel taget.
Efter at vi havde
tjekket ind på hotellet og hvilet lidt, gik vi en tur ned til søen og fandt en
restaurant, vi havde alle drømt om noget vestligt mad i dag, men det kunne vi
ikke finde, så vi fik endnu engang kinesisk mad. Michael og Louis mente, at vi
skulle prøve den lokale alkohol, så de købte en flaske sprut. Det viste sig, at
de ikke kunne lide smagen, så det endte med, at det kun var Janet, Sophie og
jeg som drak det.

13th June, distance
229 km, driving time 7 hours.
We left Lijiang, for Lugu lake, after a shitty Chinese
breakfast.
This is one of the best drives; we have had so far in China . We cris,
crossed through 5 mountain passes, with spectacular views. The Chinese sure
know how to build roads, but since there are no side railings on their mountain
roads, which makes it even more fun driving up and down, but scary.
Beautiful view - Flot udsigt
Amazing roads - Flotte veje
We drove at a height of 2690 meters, via spectacular roads,
where we first got sight of this 50 Sq km lake, which took our breath away. There
are villages scattered around the lake, and we stayed in Luoshui. This is the
most idyllic scenic and calm place I have ever been to.
After a quick walk, we had dinner in one of the local
restaurants. Our walk consisted on trying to spot at least one western restaurant,
or even a café, with either a sandwich or coffee, but no luck again. We ate at
a local Chinese diner, and decided to try out the Chinese alcohol. The silliest
thing we have ever done. It tasted horrible and we bought 10 different mixes,
to get this complex taste to our liking, I gave up. The ladies, after the
tasting were already half pissed, so they decided to carry on drinking. We
finally donated the rest of the bottle, which was a clay bottle, to our guide;
she did look hung-over the next day.
