Today will be a bit shorter with 5 hours or so. Still on high altitudes but at least on straight, and wider roads with less traffic. Had a good night, with a bit of breakfast. I’m sure I will find something along the route.
This was another great riding day, with the sun coming out and fluffy white clouds in the sky over the wide grassland on the Tibetan plateau. Arrived in Labrang after a nice 6 hours with a number of breaks. Average speed increased to 66 as most roads a straight and speed limit increased to 80 on most parts. Witnessed a lot of infrastructure work for the upcoming train line and an elevated four lane tollway through this high plateau. How it will shape the economics of the region and the people needs to be seen.
The hotel is a kind of Tibetan Inn, and I guess they gave me the presidential suite, simple but comes with all amenities. I’m sure, I will sleep well, without ac.
Tomorrow I will explore the Monastery, and enjoy a rest day here at this place.
Friendly rest stops
Found this out of its place cozy cafe just around the corner of my hotel.
Will be back tomorrow for more coffee.
Another great day on this trip.
