Day two and we are feeling good. We had an early start from Zhenzezhen to try and escape the heat. However, today was "re si le" which means extremely hot! We have been keeping hydrated and eating healthy and our main source of fuel has been watermelon. 第二天我们感觉很好。这是我们在吃西瓜。为了躲避高温,我们出发的很早。但是今天还是“热死了”,真是热啊!我们不停的补充水分,水分主要的来源就是“西瓜”。 I believe between myself and Ho Young we ate two watermelons each to keep moving through the heat.... The first part of our day we made our way to Huzhou and then headed into the mountains towards Yixing. We have cycled 220 km thus far, just 4000 km to go.... 我相信我们每个人都吃了两个西瓜,才能坚持在高温中前进···今天的第一部分是前往湖州,然后转向山区向宜兴前进。我们刚刚走了220km,还有4000多公里的路··· ![]() My trailer is losing weight slowly as we made pit stops in many communities. We came across many wonderful children and youth throughout our travels today. There were a few occasions that the children were hesitant to approach me... I am guessing it is because to them I look like "Chewbacca" on wheels. However, the children were enjoying the privilege to play and it was nice to witness their energy and happiness. Tomorrow we are heading to Lishui...jiayou! 随着器材的不断送出,我的小拖车分量不断在减轻。今天的旅途中我们遇见不少有趣的孩子和年轻人。也有几次孩子们不敢过来接近我···我猜想在他们眼里,我是不是像个轮子上的“长毛怪”(Chewbacca)。尽管这样,孩子们还是玩的很开心,很高兴能见证到他们的渴望与快乐。明天的目标是溧水···加油! Zong family who were very kind and invited us for some tea. 宗(音译)先生一家很热情,邀请我们喝了些茶。 The children of the Yuan family were very excited for receiving a new soccer ball and frisbee. 袁(音译)先生家的孩子们收到新的足球和飞盘时非常开心。 This kid was going crazy with his new ball.
这个小家伙得到一个新球,乐开了花!
