Checked out at 12 noon on the dot, nursing a bit of a hangover. Gingerly followed Abdul out of the city ...
The last stint was not a Toll road, but was still was a 2-lane, well built highway. I was going to say it wound its way through the mountains towards Laos, but in reality, the Chinese took a more straight line approach, and tunnels and bridges were the order of the day...
And as if to say Goodbye to us, even though this wasn't a toll road, the buggers saw it in their wisdom to ban motorbikes on this one too !
Arriving at our hotel in Mohan, we just got there before the rain ... the Swiss lads & Alan, who were about 30 mins behind, got soaked. Some sort of poetic justice I suppose...
At the hotel, there was a wedding in full swing as we entered the car-park. Whoops, hope I didn't ruin the wedding video...
Once all safely counted in, Abdul saw fit to treat us to a farewell dinner... but Ken, Sam & Alan must have decided they didn't like our Company and shot off elsewhere. Maybe a better offer, who knows... just a shame, eh ?
That was it, the last supper .... and with very little to do in Mohan, it was an early night with the border crossing scheduled for the morning.
