Well...

I am now in Guangzhou. Not because I wanted to be, but because, I need to be here tomorrow. Staying in Guiyang would have jeopardised that as the weather continued to deteriorate. Missing even one flight would have made tomorrow a complete arse. It still might be, but I have attempted to reduce the risk.

So yet more roads were closed in Guiyang, meaning that the very limited programme on offer was reduced yet again. I like the plac well enough, but I can't pretend to have any abiding fond memories. Indeed, the rather excellent hotel there was unfortunate to have its power cut off last night, adding to my list of (admittedly minor) woes. Ho diddly hum.

On my way back to NZ. Very tired and a little flat. I think what I have done will hit me over the next few days, weeks and months. And, let's face it, years.
