Mileage:
Notes: We had to change dollars into Yuan (8 Y=1 USD), sand the bank opened at 8, so we left shortly thereafter. We drove down a really bad road for about 90 km before it turned into a smooth toll road, and it rained most of the day. We arrived in Kunming at around 9 p.m. It was a beautiful drive, and we all like China very much. (N.O.)

Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
