Back in Lhasa
We're back now and I'm still recovering from my headaches and sad to say, a wee bit of whiplash from the roads. Mountain goat Jenni is fine and wondering why she married such a wimp!
Overall, this is a definite must do! Tibet has the most amazing landscapes. They change so easily and quickly. Most parts are not very developed yet so you see typical Tibet. Nomads still exist here but for how long? One group didn't really like us and were yelling at us as we passed. Roads are being put up everywhere and I personally think the trip to EBC will be paved within 5 years.
Be warned though. Only in the cities is there some normalicy ie. running hot water and toilets (may or may not flush). Outside, it's find a spot and squat, maybe you can have some hot water, and electricity comes on in the evening via a small gas generator! It was awesome, although I will be the first to admit that I am glad to be back in Lhasa.
Here's a pic of our group. Henry and Judy are from Shenzen, Ge Sang our driver, and us.
