A short update from Dali in Yunnan. After we arrived here by train from Lijiang, 2,5 hours on the hard seat, we unfortunately had to cope with a small food poisoning which ensured the first three days in Dali we were more or less bound to the Hotel.

One thing that was good was that Charlotte met Mila, the daughter of a German owner of a guesthouse here in Dali. So she was very happy to meet somebody who spoke German and new how to play “Bibi und Tina”, something the Chinese kids not really got.

We even went with them to the local university grounds, very beautiful up the mountain overlooking Dali to do a round of inline skating.

So not much to report from Dali, on Wednesday we will take another train ongoing to Kunming, if we’ve had the change we probably would have stayed longer in Dali. It is clear why people hang here.
