Yunnan 2005

[chinabiker]

In another thread I agreed to CC's request to post about a Yunnan trip we made in 2005. After reviewing over 3000 (!) pics, reducing the amount to 1000 and uploading 300+, I am finally here with report.


Foreword

We didn't have too much time to spend and our ladies also said the a week on the bike would be enough for them, so we decided on shipping (truckin') the bikes from the Beijing BMW bike importer to the Kunming BMW car dealer and back, hop on the bikes in Kunming and do a western Yunnan loop ride.
