Tibet with pics

Here's a report from Tibet WITH photo's.

The first days we were in Old Tingri where we (at least the ones that didn't suffer too much from altitude sickness) had a beautiful view of Everest and Cho Oyu. Everest is all the way left and Cho Oyu on the right.



Then we took the road to Lhasa visiting several monasteries on the way. At one monastery there was this boy who seemed to be fascinated by pinching the Buddha the whole time. His mom thought it was funny. Me too actually.






The last two days we've been in Lhasa visiting the Potala palace which you can see below and also the Jokhang temple and monasteries. Today we went on a hike past a sky burial site, another monastery and a nunnery.



Tomorrow we'll be for the last day in Lhasa, visiting yet another monastery. Before coming to Tibet I thought that I would get sick of visiting monasteries but all of them have something different so I don't get tired of them. Tomorrow afternoon I'll go souvenir shopping and the next day we'll start our backpacking. Then back to Kathmandu and home. Just a good week and I'll be home again. Time flies.......
