Slippery roads to Datong 1


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BROTHER JON   🙂

Got up early and took three buses to get to Datong. In Pinglu there was a three hour wait.  I got in touch with the owner of the bus which goes  daily to Datong. He was a very nice guy and rescued me from the -5 C in the waiting hall of the bus station. We ate together with his driver and some others. The place was warmer and the atmosphere was great with lots of noise from hard working guys shouting at each other when they entered or left the place for the cold outside.

Two hundred metres down the road, there had been an accident.

The recent snow has made driving even more risky than normal. I saw several lorries that had lost their grip and sailed off the road. At one place two lorries had collided, but both of the drivers carriages had swung to the opposite sides saving the drivers. (I think)

    Hej Robert, fantastiskt att du orkar med allt, bra jobbat. I dag har jag varit och uppvaktat Gustav som fyllt 50… Han hade ordnat en härlig konsert i en av hans kyrkor och sedan bjöd han och Eva på mat till alla gästerna. Vi måste ha varit drygt 100 personer, en riktigt stor fest..
    Själv har jag nu bott på mitt sommarställe några dagar, men ger upp p.g.a. kylan som har varit mellan 15 – 25 minus, trot att jah har vedspis och elelement 🙁 bekvämligheterna inne i stan lockar fr mycket, men det har varit vackra dagar med sol och mycket gnistrande snö,vintern kan ju vara vacker också 🙂
    Allt gott!
    Leif
