Day 27 Southwest of Qinghai Lake to Chakazhen(青海湖西南部-茶卡)

7/29/2012

Now we can officially say goodbye to Qinghai Lake....We found out yesterday if you travel the lake counterclockwise you will experience bad luck which is a Tibetan belief.....and now looking back we were the only two people traveling in the wrong direction! In addition, we traveled through many cities that were restricted and we somehow kept a low profile from the police and we were camping during the night in secluded areas. We also found out that the route we took to Tianjun was where the current Dali Lama was discovered...
现在我们可以正式和青海湖说再见了…我们昨天发现按照藏族信条来说,如果延湖逆时针骑行将会有霉运…现在看看我们后面,就我们两人在反方向骑行!另外,我们经过的很多城市都有限制,我们也尽量低调一些,免得引起警察的注意,晚上就在计划内的地方扎营。我们也才知道我们去天峻的路线是发现现任达【防】【防】赖【止】【止】喇【和】【和】嘛【偕】【偕】的地方…

Yesterday we had an early start and we had a few problems...broken chain, flat tires, collisions and personally I was battling stomach pains due to a "nuro lamian" that I ate for breakfast....We had our toughest climb yet and we reached an elevation of 3817 meters. The climb was 30 km and there were numerous herds of mountain goats and sheep along the mountain side.
昨天我出发的很早,却碰到麻烦:链条断了,胎爆了,还发生碰撞,我肚子还不舒服,可能是因为早上吃的牛肉拉面不好…这里依然是我们最艰苦的爬坡路段,已经到了海拔3817米了。爬了30公里了,山坡上有成片的羊群。

Along our climb we were greeted  by many pleasant faces. There are many families that live throughout the mountains who live a nomadic lifestyle positioning tents along the mountain sides. We distributed many footballs because of the natural grass surface. I hope when we return we  will see large football games played throughout this region....
我们爬坡过程中人们总是用微笑问候我们。这里有很多家牧民,仍然过着游牧生活,他们的帐篷就扎在山坡上。我们送出去很多足球,因为这里的自然草皮太棒了。我希望我们下一次再来这一地区时能看见足球运动已经在这里欣欣向荣了…

Yesterday was a battle and we are still standing! We are now heading to Golmud which is southwest from Qinghai Lake and we are heading deep into the desert....We have traveled through so many landscapes that China has to offer and we have met so many genuine people. I hope these images inspire you to explore this wonderful land...Jiayou!
昨天是场硬仗,我们依然站着,没有被打倒!我们正朝着青海湖西南方向的格尔木前进,已经深入到沙漠里面了…我们欣赏到了许多美丽的风景,遇到了许多真诚地的人们。希望这些图片能激发起你来这片神奇的土地探险的欲望…加油!
