Today is definately not a good day for me. After having breakfast of dumplings and porridge,my stomach was not feeling ok nevertheless we ride on and hoping that time will cure it automatically. After abt 15 km , i had to rush for toilets and let go and that indication of food poisoning and i can sense that my body is getting weak. I took 2 tablets of diarrhae and panadols , i struggled on with slow pace abt 13-15 km/hr . Heather must have noticed my abnormal self after lunch and asked "Meng r u alright?" "Yes,but i am slow today" Luckily there is only another 14 km to reach QingtongXia which we thought earlier abt 100km. After checked into a guesthouse for 15 rmb each ,i have a good nap and later we went for a walk in the park which we saw very beautiful when we passed by. In the park ,all are locals with children relexing. Flowers/trees/lake/rivers/fishing, a very quality life unlike in other towns that we seen. After having bbq beef and beer , one local family next table invited us to join them for dinner.Sometimes , you never knows when the surprise comes!
