Health Check;
Shoulder - status 95%
Only in the last day or two has the old shoulder stopped giving me jip. Seems to be nearly there now with just the odd twinge
Foot - status 85%
Still not quite right tbh! I'm still not able to walk for long distances without my big toe telling me there's something up with it. Did about 10 miles yesterday and my foot knew about it. Getting there though I guess.
Back - status 30%
Broken in seventeen different places from three nights sleeping on a concrete bed.
Arse - status 100%
Everything as it should be. Details not required.
Chin - status stubbly
I hate cold, mixed, communal ablutions. Exposing my bare essentials without the prospect of a happy ending is both unnecessary and uncivilised. So have been time efficient by not bothering to shave. Sod it. I'm not doing a photo shoot any time soon.
Glad Inn - Kunming
Location - 0 prawn balls
There is no reason for a hotel to be here except land is presumably cheap and they can price rooms accordingly. Attracts local custom for the most part, apart from the nice Spanish lady who shared my view in all things.
Facilities - 0 prawn balls
Given that is only a couple of years old, it's a pretty poor show that they have squat toilets really. Beds have no mattress and is like sleeping on concrete.
Staff - 5 prawn balls
Can't fault them at all. Very very helpful and welcoming.
Food - 3 prawn balls
Not entirely my cup of tea but that's not their fault.
Entertainment - 0 prawn balls
BBQ pit area with obligatory guitar playing traveller, wowing everyone with Chinese rendition of Wonderwall etc. etc. etc. there's simply no need for it. Appalling racket when you're trying to get to sleep on a concrete mattress.
Overall - 1 prawn ball
Should have stayed in Guilin which was brilliant or allowed enough time to get out and about in Lijiang or Dali. I'm VERY annoyed with myself, plus I'm now knackered through lack of sleep.
