It was the second hotel in China with breakfast and because of the shorter tour of this day (76km), I could take it without feeling stressed, although it started late, 7:30.
And I was not stressed when a few minutes after leaving, Mr.G “saw” a street where I saw houses, so I had to sidestep on a street that Mr.G didn’t see. In such a case, you only see a triangle, symbolizing you on the bike and not much around. Mr.G is confused and shares this confusion with you.
So, it was good to have mapsme, too. This is not a very precise map, but you can locate your position and see some streets. On that map, too, was no road to see where I was driving and when I continued driving, there was no road where I was driving, even in reality. But a path. A narrow one, that became so narrow that better no one should come from the other side (and apparently, no one was motivated to go there). But after a few minutes, the path became a gravel road and this one lead into a normal road and suddenly Mr.G peeped that we are on the route again. That surprised me, I thought it would be somewhere left from this street, but it was ok for me ?

The rest of the tour, we stuck together, Mr.G and I, we had a good time, mostly on big roads with extra bicycle lane.

…or through small villages 
….ith very narrow lanes
Today again, many people smiled, greeted or took photos when they passed me, or I passed them. Why this? Other, more extrovert people? The holidays? By chance? Two guys on a motorcycle accompanied me for a while, first filming and then communicating via translate app. In the end, they wanted to make a selfie (and I didn’t forget the “revenge-selfie” ? )

In Chaozhou, it was again impossible to find the hostel without help, but it was easy to get help, people offered it.

In the hotel, I had booked a dormitory bed and the room was quite busy. A young man started communication in English and then invited me to join him when he met his friend. So, Leo, his friend and the friend’s younger brother and I made a city tour



2,5 km Paifang street 

we even attended a cultural exhibition 
this is a tool for weighing, but i am not sure about the functionality 

on the Ming City wall 
with focus on local food. On Wikipedia, I had found a list of food and written down some vegetarian dishes. And we worked through this list 😀

literally translated “sugar water” (and indeed sweet) 
fried spring rolls, Chaozhou style 
fried radish and vinegar as a dip


I then went back to the room where I not only wrote my diary in uploaded photos, I also chatted with my new “motorcycle-friends” and exchanged emails with Pascal. I just can say: I am excited, the idea slowly turns into a plan!
