Wednesday 11th September After we finally managed to book into a hotel last night, small hotel but very clean and nice, we went straight out for a meal, ended up cooking are own, with this Mongolian hot pot, basically a charcoal burner, heating water then you put in what you like , In fact it was very nice, once the first layer of meat had gone, think we had seconds and thirds, once again the waiter just looked and said something like are you sure, we demolished the lot. We then had a walk up by a floodlit temple and the old area of Huangyuan, it was very good, with a reference to the old wool industry from the 1800,s with two UK companies and one each from Belgium and USA.
With no breakfast at hotel we had breakfast in the cafe across the road, big bowl of noddle soup, which will set us up for the day. Getting out of Huangyuan and onto the correct road was very difficult, they must have known we were in town as the fireworks were going off as we tried to get of the City. Linney actually got hit by a women opening up a taxi door in front of him, how he managed to stay on his bike was a result of his riding talent, I would of been over the handle bars, crying and swearing at everyone, Linney just smiled!
We started off on the closed road from yesterday, unfortunately they did not get my instructions until very late, this section was still being worked on, so we ended on the minor road for a while, still very good, but not much space for cyclists. We then managed to get back on the toll road and rolled into Xining just in time for lunch, the city took my breath away, I have never seen so many high rise buildings the infrastructure around the city was astounding, China never fails to surprise me, one minute we are struggling to get a hotel room, the next we go through a city of over 2 million people with all the trappings of any major city in the world. After lunch we still had at least another 10 miles until we were out of the city. Once again on the toll road, with a slight down hill, we were flying heading for the town of Haidonig, around 30 miles away, all of us thinking it will be a small provincial town, infact it was massive again with tower blocks nearly as far as you could, all seemed very new. We now have a hotel strategy, find a cafe with WIFI do the research, then send Linney in with Keith & I lurking outside, first place was a no go, it was an old peoples home, as we left I see then nodding and pointing at me, saying he can come in! fair play they did point us in the right direction for a hotel.
The strategy worked, though it did take a while, sure Linney has another helping of food when he is in there, he comes out with a big smile and says all OK been up to the room, but the main thing is we are in.
All of us had a nice shower done all our washing and hung it from our 10th floor window, then out to find some food.
