[Day 15 S]
-> Lets ride around Erhai! After getting extremely lost we made it to the other side or Erhai and hired some bikes
That restaurant we ate at. Open kitchen, much?
From dried penis to mushrooms bigger than a basketball. Horns of all kinds. I swear this was some herbal travelling medicine market.
One thing i had to try around china was pancake. It was my benchmark. They weren't too bad.
We set off for Erhai. I have no idea what we did or how we did it. We took a bus, it stopped in the middle of nowhere. We then took some trike/tuk tuk after working for an hour
This tuktuk took us to the other side or Erhai. From here we walked and stumbled across a bicycle shop. We managed to hire bikes and go for a ride around part of Erhai. Erhai is HUGE. I would imagine it would take a day or two to navigate around
Straining?
We were dying. The long walk and heat. Some fruits to refresh.
Stopping for lunch? lol. No idea what we ordered. Jordan managed to order us some cabbage. There was no meat, we ended up with the spicy mini crayfish things. That you eat whole. Head, claws and all.
After lunch we continued our bike ride.
After the bike ride we proceeded back. We took a taxi that dropped us again in the middle of no where.
Some how we caught a bus that dropped us near Dali. We then started walking and ended up walking into the city.
We had a very interesting day journey. No idea how was went and returned. Thanks to Jordan and his bit of Chinese. We returned safety
VB in the middle of no where. Jordan's backpackers.
Trying something different for dinner haha. Pizza it is.
Pizza in Dali.
[Day 16 S]
-> Loved Dali so much so we stayed another day
-> Took some horses up the mountain 'Cangshan' then hiked a 'Cloudy Tourist Road' to an epic pool of crystal blue waters 'Seven Dragon Maidens Pond'
-> Said bye to Jessica and moved to Lijiang
Can you see our lunch running around? We didn't want to wait for chicken so we had cup noodles.
Pretty steep climb. My friend slipped. I ran down to help him
This was also one trip I had no idea how we ended up on. We wanted to go up the mountain but heard you have to pay entry. So somehow we got horses up the mountain? The horses go up a back trail so we dont have to pay lol. Dodgy or what?
It was unreal the climb. I think you would struggle on foot climbing up the steep rocky roads. But these mini horses made it. I think they were more like donkeys.
Had some of the best skys in Dali. So blue!
Jessica was a street artists. We bought her postcards.
