Wenshan To Mile

Wenshan, very nice and clean, we had a few things to get sorted...and we did, 4.56 pm rolled around so completed just before knock off time.

Shou Lyu got an upgrade with her name on the cases.

Dinner time rocked around, just up from our place they were selling Oysters....big bastids too, 35 yan for a doz, so $8.75 kiwi, I got a half doz due to the size and I wanted to try other stuff, the Oysters were cooked in very very hot chillis the result was sting ring but that is another story.

A young fella of the people who owned the cookery brought me over a glass of water, he musta known bein  whiteyfoo that I might steam a bit, anyway he wanted to know where we came from, I took the time out to show him, his eyes were bigger than dinner plates with interest, it was cool.

The nightime area was lit up beautifully too.

From Wenshan to Mile, there was supposed to be an epic rain storm coming in, we were slightly ahead of it so we bailed with vigour to get as far as our time would buy us.

The usual gumball rally getting out of town then semi peaceful roads from there except for a tuk tuk that ran straight across the road in front of us…a puckerup moment there, they were bloody lucky we were not a bus or big truck of which there were plenty and fast.

We even got onto a very nice main-ish road which we were allowed on, then came the ETC which is the toll station, confusion set in as our navigation we have exclusions of Expressways and Motorways because riding two up we are simply not allowed to by law….BANNED

Approaching the Toll gate in line the lady saw us and my stupid whiteyfoo face looking confuses and signalled for us to the far right and continue….so cars pay tolls on non toll roads and motos don’t…makes sense LOL. 

Off the motorway that we were allowed on we turned into a wee town for a scoff and a redirection for navigation, there was a dude on a pretty cool cruiser style bike (never thought I would say that)….here is the pic, it had design style features like the Confederate brand of motos, pretty well unknown in the big world but cool.

Dude was proud of his bike, onya bro!!

Through the hills it started to rain and got cold however that was short lived and before long we were on an epically  l o n g  downhill to a basin and following a river, it was very hot and sticky but no rain.

Into Mile we arrived dry much to our surprise and having clocked nearly 250 km under our belt for the day, big number from China travel, the hotel even had a hot tub so we made the most of that.  

Mile town and around up next.
