Well it's April 30 and we've had a rest day. We went to Toyota to get the battery tray secured, but the dealership could not or would not do the job. We found a street mechanic who did a great job in about half an hour.
Then Stephan wanted to find a model airplane shop! No luck but when we get back to Shanghai he and I plan to go shopping. Stephan flew out today to catch a flight to Paris for his nephew's christening. Tomorrow Bheto, another friend of Paddy's joins us as we head off for Urumqi. This is a trip of about 2600km or so. We will probably take about 6 or 7 days to do the journey.
Xining is not that big a city, 2.3m according to Wikipedia. The distribution storm has departed today but it's still a dry dusty sort of place.
The traffic and pedestrian interaction in China is something to see to be believed. No one seems to take any notice of traffic lights or pedestrian crossings.
So we get a good bed, fine food and a shower again tonight before heading off into the wilds.
