Day 39 Zong Talecun to Hetian (Hotan)（宗塔勒村-和田）

Yesterday was tough riding. Temperatures were high and the headwind was strong! For the first time we came across a sign that shows Kashgar....and now we are 500 km away. We are planning on finishing our trip in four days if all goes well!
昨天骑得真艰难，气温很高，又是强劲的顶风！我们第一次看见了标有喀什的指路牌…现在它只在500公里远的地方了。如果一切顺利，我们计划在4天内完成剩下的这段路程。

We are getting frustrated with the post office as we are still waiting for our last load. We are hoping that it comes to us in the next couple of days. We are now in the city of Hetian (Hotan) and it feels like we are in another country! Ho Young has officially lost his powers to communicate....The people are predominantly Uyrhur people which are a Turkic ethnic group. The food is fantastic and they have been helping us out to the best of their ability.
但是邮局的情况很让我们很失望，我们还在等待我们的最后一批装备。希望两天内就到我们手里。现在我们就在和田，这里给人感觉就像是另外一个国家！小柳同学正式宣布下课，他的汉语在这里已经无法沟通…这里大多数是维吾尔族人。食物很好吃，他们尽其所能的帮助了我们。

Today we will be heading north along the 315 highway and spending the night in Pishan. Time to get moving and we will see everyone very soon...
今天我们将沿着315国道向北前进，准备在皮山过夜。就要动身回家了，不久就要见到各位了…
