Kunming is 20.6 miles away and we should be there tomorrow evening. We have walked 210 miles since we left Dali. Once we get to Kunming we will say goodbye to our little highway 320. Until today, the 320 has been a relatively quiet 2 lane rural road that occasionally creeps into a decent sized…
We only managed 16 miles today but the last 6 were all up hill. We are now enjoying a nice dinner on the restaurant of our hotel. It’s a pretty lively spot and Doug was even offered a shot of local moonshine. When we got here, the first thing we did was shower and do…

Now that we have taken a day and a half off, our average of 15 miles per day has shrunk to a little over 12 a day. It was unavoidable. We we’re both physically tired and the sole of my right foot felt like it was tearing with every step. We shopped around at local…
