A hectic few days as we cross two borders (twice) and participate in a fundraising event with Free Lunch for Children. Great time wandering around Macau, even making some money while we're there. Lots of time commuting while in Hong Kong though.

We manage to cover over 1,200km in three days as we make the choice to take the highway to get back down south to the coast where we have plans to visit Macau, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen.

I make a solo and complicated visa run from Kashgar to Kyrgyzstan to fulfill a requirement of my tourist visa. Two full days involving under construction roads, highway bribery, Kyrgzstan truck stops, and sleeping over night at a local police barracks make for an interesting experience to be able to legally stay in China.

Better roads now as we make our way through the plains of northern Inner Mongolia, all the way up to the Russian border and back down south again. Also find out about our stay at the Mongolian yurt camp!
