Simao to Puer - 70km

Leaving Simao is a real challenge, the road is quite bad in many places so there is very little traffic on the 213. Nothing much eventful happened, I communicated via SMS with the Swedes who were experiencing very bad road conditions on the 214 as well. I saw on the news that southwest China is under the grip of a prolonged drought, worse than the usual dry season and that water shortages were occuring all across the region. These girls were collecting a heavy cargo of water in their bicycle carriage for their families supply.
