7 Hours in Tibet

We've arrived in Lhasa, following a couple of days in Kathmandu, which we mostly seemed to spend eating lovely meals out! So far the food has definitely been an improvement from Mongolia. Last night, Sharon had 5 desserts...

In Kathmandu we visited the Bodhnath Stupa, which was very impressive (great eyes!), and a temple complex by the ghats, the name of which escapes me at the moment! We flew to Lhasa this morning, with a spectacular flight over the Himalayas. It was amazing to see Everest and the other mountains poking out through the layer of cloud.

Now we're in Lhasa we're trying to adjust to the altitude, so we'll be taking things very slowly - at the moment we get out of breath whenever we have to walk more than 10 yards!
