We walked 22 1/2 miles today and had beautiful cool weather for all of it. It never got above 64 degrees and while it was predicted that there was going to be rain we didn’t get more than a sprinkle for just a few minutes. We left our hotel at 7:00 am and thought we’d find a place for breakfast but we were in the middle of nowhere! We finally found a “restaurant” at around 1:30 and by that time we had walked 14 miles.
We walked through another toll lane today. I think this is our third. Since we always walk against traffic we go through backwards and just give the guys in their toll booth boxes a wave.
After we passed to toll way hung a right yo bypass a portion of the 324 that was a little too busy for our taste. We walked up a huge hill which really took it out of us at the end of the day but the views were beautiful and well worth it. Tomorrow we will reconnect with the 324 again when it turns back into a quiet 2 land road. For now we are enjoying a night in Xionbi Town. When we first got here it seemed like such a quiet and quaint little town but the further we walked into it the crazier and louder it got. The Chinese love their horns and you can’t count to 10 without hearing someone honking.
Fairly frequently we have a hard time checking into a hotel. This afternoon we were so close, we had the key in our hand when the owner walked in and gave us the boot. We walked another block and around the corner and found a real nice place and checked in without any problem. It’s so noisy and active here. It’s hard to believe that these photos were taken a mere 3 miles away.
