Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 is cycle touring in China on Tuesday, 16th-October-2012. In Turpan. I decided to stay one more night here. Purely because I’m feeling lazy, but also because I’ve got an internet connection! Caught up with a few emails, surprising how you miss the internet when you don’t have it.
Still undecided on my finishing point, but I’ve still got over a thousand miles to go before I have to decide for definite!
I might regret not moving today as the wind has dropped, and it’s been a lovely, sunny, windless day. But it’s good to be lazy now and then!
Found a Chinese map in Chinese for the rest of China. So, hopefully, I’ll be able to find my way across ok now! Although trying to match the road signs and the map is like playing a game of mah-jong!
Please Donate
Don’t forget the main reason behind my ride. I want to raise as much money for cancer research charities as possible. After my wife, Josie, died of breast cancer in 2007, aged only 42. Even the smallest donation helps. You can donate to Cancer Research UK or the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation. Click on either one to donate. Every little bit helps to rid the world of this cruel disease.
