Thursday 28th of September, off work and leaving the house at 18:43: The holiday starts! Train tickets are all sold out, so first leg of the trip is 100 km cycling to Suzhou through the night.

Crossing the river.

Oh Shanghai, you’re such a great city to arrive in, and such a great city to leave.

On the edge of Shanghai now, where you can get things by the roadside such as meat, fruits, and 6 RMB haircuts.

Headlight (fully charged) ran out of battery three hours in, but arrived!
