Southern China Loop on JH600s

Left xiangtan at about 10 after a great Hunan tapas style breakfast. We were on the G320 all morning and it has to be up there with the worst roads I’ve been on. It was potholed and beat up to shit and went through some of the most polluted villages I’ve ever seen. There really wasn’t any redeeming features. After about 200 kms we arrived in Shaoyang where we went our separate ways after a quick lunch. Craig continued on west towards Guizhou and I sadly started back towards Shenzhen and a date at the office.
What followed was 20 kms of road under construction sludge (yes, it was raining again) and I was lucky not to drop the bike a few times. The road then improved and I completed the 90 kms to Yongzhou in a proper monsoon. I found a pikey hotel and went out for some more spicy Hunan fair, I was invited over for a few beers by some local lads who then proceded to blame me forwasting 10 years of their lives in English classes. I tried to explain the usefulness of foreign trade and investment but didn’t get far so went off for a massage some street barbecue and an early night.
