Day 30, 67km: (by Chris)

Thunder, lightening and rain woke us this morning. We struggled out of the foliage and down the wet road before starting another huge climb up into the clouds to 10,000 ft where the cold bleak hills were covered in stunted bushes. It looked like Scotland. From there we descended for 47km to 5000ft to a town where we stayed in a hotel that insisted we must register as temporary visitors at the police station and fill in the appropriate forms. This should be done everywhere we stay, but it's a right hassle for both us and the guesthouse owners so most of the time no one bothers with this, instead we hurry inside so not to be seen by the police.
On the way up - a typical view in China with gazillions of pylons:

  1. Dude, so many pylons! Didn't realise trees needed so much electricity. Guess we have no idea just how highly populated China really is.
