I could start by writing about the negative experience Tom and I had in one of our last hotels but I find focusing on the positives seems to help the kilometers tick over quicker so I want to take a minute two write about two wonderful experiences the team has had with complete strangers of nations from the both east and west.

Nothing says “go back to your own country” like a thunder and lightning storm with winds strong enough to just about knock us all off our bikes. So off to the side of the road we pulled huddling for any shelter we could beside what looked like a closed trucker restaurant. To our surprise a Chinese lady opened the door and motioned for us to come in
