April 29th - Back to civilisation....

The plan today was to reach Kuoerle (700km south of Ulumuqi). We made it safely with average speed 100km/h fighting strong winds. To save petrol and energy, we made some relay and drove very close to each other in the order to decrease winds influence (old technic but super efficient). 

Officialy in Xinjiang now...Good Lamb and new landscape...We are also looking forward our 2 days off in Turpan and mechanical days in Ulumuqi (where we have a lot to do on the bike : maintenance + upgrade. We have shipped some pieces for our bikes from SH and hopefully get the package soon in ulumuqi. Fingers crossed.

The 2 dead lambs on sale beside the road, makes us stop here to relax and have some tea with the locals...and fun also (picture beside). Fews kms laters, some wild camel...Awesome

Allez 200Km more and we will be in Kuoerle ( Jia You !!)

At the entrance of the city, where we were looking for Hotel, Nicolas saw 2 big bikes parked on the road side....Ok lets u turn and made some friends...Good choice ...The Kuoerle bikers gangs welcome us like Kings. Brings us to our hotels, pay half of the bill and invite us for HotPot...Again, we are very very lucky or maybe Chinese bikers hospitality is far away the Best ! Yeah option number 2, these guys rocks !!

So we changed Wechat, have diner, some beers and back to Hotels...That was a nice day !
