Town Day

Today has been a rest day in Dali; for the cars anyway as I have walked about 10 kilometres around town and to the 9th century Pagodas, so the tracker today is me walking not driving. We are back on the road tomorrow.

Even with the weather a bit inclement all day, the morning was spent walking around the main part of town discovering all the back alleys; and weren’t some of them interesting. I walked down a street with lots of little factory’s making cotton doonas then turned the corner into the local market where people come to sell what they have produced or what is their speciality like the different collection of chillies, vegetables, live fish and all different meat… and the list goes on.. all best seen in the photos with this post.

The afternoon four of us walked to the three Pagodas and back with our guide Alim. As the three of us walked faster then Alim we walked a little bit further then necessary due to navigation errors on my part. As much as I hate to admit it!
