Took it easy in the morning. Said goodbyes to the sweet girls in the Zaodian nextdoor and set off just before lunch eventually settling for only 60km in the day. Made camp at the foot of the Bagoda mountains, the peak above me rising to about 3500m. Fully laden with enough food to last me a few days I cooked up a storm with the trusty Whisper Light camping stove. the little stove works a charm and runs on ordinary petrol from the gas station. The little girls from the ZaoDian provided me with some mince which i fried up and added to noodles.

In light of feeling healthy, i still worried at the prospect of getting sick again. Only time would tell. The sleep that night didnt go so well...
