The End of China
We’ve finally battled our way through the people and pollution of Eastern China and landed on the shores of the Yellow Sea and the beaches of Qingdao. It may seem obvious, but it is now very clear that the Eurasian continent is quite a big place. Somehow, 14,690km and 134 days after leaving the English Channel we’ve come to the edge this enormous landmass again. The achievement has left us both quite lost for words.
Heavy smog hanging over the Yellow River
In reality the ride through the crowded provinces in the east of China haven’t nearly lived up to the scare stories we’d heard. Except for small areas of terrible pollution and far too many people, the majority of it was fascinating and full of friendly and inquisitive locals and wall-to-wall farmland. Here are some photos.
An incredible achievement – I’m quite lost for words myself, other than to say it is amazing what the human mind and body can do – those beards are amazing! well done 🙂
Awesome guys! Some vast, vigorous and quite challenging lands you have passed thru but the sights, sounds and flavors of the land and people live on! Ride On and Rock Strong!
‘The end do China’ – you guys are amazing! I think about you often and admire your determination and enormous courage. Keep going, keep smiling and be happy. Love Annsie 😀
well, I am lost for words! 109 km per day – if you rode every day! I am happy when I can do 30 km on 1 day and then rest again!! Well done guys! We are most impressed – congratulations for your huge achievement, incredible! We are following your progress closely and are always happy to hear that you are reasonably well! We will be off to Argentina (on cargo ship with camper in the hold) on October 21! Also an adventure – although nowhere near yours! Love Margrit and Walter, Switzerland
Hi Guys, looking great keep it up.
I wonder if the Japanese and the Americans will be as friendly as the Chinese?
