tandem4family – Mit der Familienkutsche von Shanghai nach Beijing
Having reached the new shores of Liaoning, we make a fresh start and agree on two basic precepts: from now on the family stays and bikes together; and we take it easy, without sticking to any strict plans or maps. The last would be anyway impossible to do, because we are left without navigation. The only mobile on which it worked fall weeks ago on the road and broke; our backup – the tablet,- emerged one evening from the bag with a shattered screen; while the satellite maps downloaded on the GPS display a network of roads, but neither their names, nor the towns. Our map of Liaoning province is almost useless, as it focuses on highways and interstates. We will simply bike in general direction Beijing – that is to say, first in direction north, along the length of the Liaodong peninsular, then make an arch direction west, then bike southwards again, along the western coast of the bay. And above all, we will enjoy the rest of the trip and remain open to whatever comes along.
