Left 7 am and got rained on all morning. Snuck onto the gaosu once inside Guizhou Province and just boshed along. Saw plenty of police at the tolls but they don't seem to mind in Guizhou, I did get shouted at by a few toll booth dudes though but there ya go. Even if you can get away with riding on the gaosu in Guizhou you can't fill up with petrol as they don't have any anqian di yi teapots. I actually ran out of petrol in a gas station and the attendant took pity on me which was very good of him.

Again I just had my head down all day trying to rack up the kilometres but did see a guy changing a tyre in the centre of the gaosu and took some pics of some dudes watering their pigs.

Covered 790 kms, 1674 total.

Riding the Guizhou gaosu is actually not as boring as you might think, you ride through the mountaintops seeing these tiny isolated hamlets and farmhouses that have this huge motorway running passed their doormats! I wonder what the occupants make of it all...

This is what happens if you don't water your pigs...
