I’ve been asked by a few friends where they can send Christmas cards. A couple of letters sent to me previously have been lost. This is frustrating both for me and the sender. Therefore it is best to send them to my parents. Their address is Havnabakken 26, 0874 Oslo, Norway. Then they can pass them on to the next person from home that I meet up with.

Many thanks in advance! My Christmas cards will be on the blog this year. Anything else would be difficult I’m afraid.

The walk today was along what can only be called ‘Coal Alley’. Almost everywhere I looked it was black. The area from Shenmu to Datong is very rich in coal, I have been told. The traffic to transport it is almost constant both on road and rail. Tomorrow I head in a north easterly direction away from the coal alley. Looking forward to it. Will soon go out to send the GPS point. I just hope it will work, because I’m in a pretty steep valley and the device needs as much sky as possible.

I still have the cold. A cough and runny nose. It has lasted for a while, so hopefully it will improve soon.
