Menglun to Jinghong - 70km

Today wasnt terribly eventful, chatted to the swedes as we rode through the mountains. They had been planning to go into Tibet after leaving Dali, but had curtailed that idea due to its visa compliations, (land borders are currently off limits to travellers, the only way is to fly into Lhasa now) and were now hatching a plan to ride to Chengdu, with a tour through some of Chinas highest peaks - Jade Dragon and whatever the other one is called. Theyre something like 6500m, which sounded impressive so I said I would come along with them as far as I could manage. Bought some new warmer shoes in Jinghong, a footprint for the tent and some warm socks for what I anticipated as a chilly next few weeks.
