On the way back to Deqin

Now it is 9.13 – outside i can hear somebody with a wood saw, chicken, sometimes a car honking, and the monks pray. Sky is still gray. Have more than 3 hours before the bus leaves for Lijiang. Found a host over there that has a nice old house – similar to the one from Monika and Alex in Deli.
Time for a shower and breakfast!
