Huaiji to Foshan – Day 10


Lulu crashed right after lunch. The road was wet and she was leaning over to check her motorcycle because it was making a strange sound, so the bike slipped over and slid almost into a concrete ditch by the roadside. The left footpeg and the handlebars were bent, but she was okay, which was the most important thing.

After a couple of hours of repairs, checking the bike and more repairs, we got going again. I still didn’t have waterproof gloves and the driving wind made my hands numb and the rest of me quite cold, tired and not in the best of spirits.

Lulu had been busy blogging about our trip and we met up with a guy named “Big Eyes” from the Guangzhou motorcycle club about 60 kilometres outside of Guangzhou who guided us into Foshan. It got dark and and we slowed down alot on the slippery roads with the high beams from cars coming in the opposite direction making it hard to see through the droplets on my visor. We got to the restaurant where others from the Guangzhou motorcycle club were waiting to welcome us three hours later, wet, cold and exhausted, but happy to see them. After a good meal of Cantonese snacks (I love Cantonese food) we left to find a place to stay. One of the guys, Dawei, booked us a room in a hotel close to his home, so that it would be easy for him to meet us the next morning to help us get the bikes sorted the next day.
