... a ride on the back of a small farm truck. We finally arrive at the point where the goods ( cereals, milk powder,baby formula, canned meat and fish, noodles, washing powder, soap, tooth paste ) are unloaded and from where they have to be carried. This is the end of No.18, for now. Everyone fills the backpacks, baskets and you name it with goods and begins the walk. ( The news is that we will not have to walk all the way up and over the ridge to get own ...

... again, telling us to find our room ourselves. The clue was the walnut. We had to find an animal that matches the walnut and that will be our room. We found the squirrel.

The dinner (山月慢食), which started at 6pm, was the main highlight of this trip. The dishes were served in fine-dining style and amazingly, we were feeling really full at the end of the dinner. (Full details of the dishes ...

... trail. From Lala Shan to Lupin Shan it seems that we are the first hikers since quite a while. It is all wet from the fog, the trail overgrown and slippery - I fell perhaps 30 times on the whole trip. It goes up and down, over and under fallen trees - all with a heavy backpack, through thick undergrowth, getting all wet, scratched by grass and thorny bushes, the tree branches hanging low and pushing our backpack down when ...

... at any time without an overstay penalty. It all seemed to be working perfectly into our tentative plans but even though we had asked the two people who had the best chance of gleaning the correct information from their sources and they, in turn, had asked the best people they knew to provide an accurate answer; we were still hesitant.

... a rvou zvirata. Vsude rostou palmy a takovy ty kytky, co pestujete doma v kvetinaci. V pralese rostou jako kere. Vypada to jak v pavilonu tropickych rostlin a zvirat v ZOO. Je tu hrozna vlhkost. Porad jsme mokry. Vodopady jsou uzasny, presne jak z nejakyho filmu. Da se pod nima i sprchovat a plavat. Reky se tu s temi v Cine nedaji srovnavat. Tady je voda pruzracne cista a da se snad i pit. Pred zviraty v pralese mame ale trochu ...

Tak jsem tu zpet. Uz to skoro vypadalo, ze nikdy neprestane prset. Z nebe se temer nepretrzite valily proudy vody od patecniho vecera do pondelniho dopoledne. V sobotu se navic pridal priserny vitr.

Mistni se nijak nevzrusuji, ti jsou zvykli. Nejak jsem si na vikend neporidila dost zasob a protoze se nedalo ...

... blood to please the spirts of the ancestors and ask for future luck for the school. Some men from the village fix the pig in the small cage to the ground by pushing bamboo sticks through the cage just above the lying pig ( the pig is not hurt at all ). The pig gets - quite justified - into some panic which it articulates by the pig's typical squeeking sound, but then quickly calms down. The elder kneels beside the pig's upper body and inserts ...
