We are now resting in Kuqa, before five long riding days to Kashgar, our last rest stop in China.

We spent one night camping in a nice spot in the mountains. I climbed up one of the big gravelly hills next to our camp to take some photos.

I have not been taking many photos lately, since we have just been riding along the highway. Desert (camels!) on one side, mountains on the other. Two nights ago I slept outside under the stars.

Our hotel has a very typical Chinese scenic view: beautiful mountains with a big power plant right in the city.
