D206 – 70.4Km<\/h4>\n

TUESDAY, JULY 11
N31 20.338 E120 41.818 (9m -17 km after Suzhou) – N31 08.913 E121 09.943 (14m – gates of Shanghai)
70.4 km – 10H22′<\/h5>\n
Oh boy, writing a log a few days after the events have taken place will take a lot of concentration if I’m to remember the most important things.<\/p>\n

Serge’s penultimate day in China saw him at the gates of Shanghai: 45\u00b0 Celsius and overheated, then one hour of traffic jams.  Serge arrived at the hotel a bit on edge and tired.<\/p>\n

Today there were two groups: the feeders, Maxime and Thomas in the 4-wheel drive (for which it’s the last day because it will soon join its friend, the camper, at the harbor) and the packing group at the hotel.  After a few delays due to traffic, we finally arrived at the hotel where Zette and Eliane were waiting for us.  Emptying the camper was worthy of a mini-move.  We did it in two steps (that is 6 shopping carts full to the gills) so as not to overcrowd the room, which happened to be very spacious.<\/p>\n

Stephanie and Zette packed the luminous panel, as well as the generator, while Laure and Eliane packaged all the feeding material in cartons.  The job went very well and we began to see the end of it by the end of the afternoon.  At the beginning of the afternoon Zette organized the shipment of the vehicles with the maritime agency.  Sun did a lot of running from let to right.  He didn’t even have the time to eat but his help was more than precious.<\/p>\n

I had only one regret: Zette didn’t have time to write this log.  But one of these days she will tell you all about the work and life of a “helper.”  Serge has the ideas and the legs but you have to have lots of helpers to make everything work, and sometimes even to face the reality of things.  It seems that helpers complain a lot but basically they like what they do and when the job is over they get bored…. So said the big chief.<\/p>\n

“Happy Birthday on this July 11 to my dad (a bit late but I know you will forgive me).  I think about you and mum a lot and it’s in great part thanks to you that I’m here, on my road today” Serge.<\/p>\n
