Wet David

We've now been in Lhasa for a few days and had a chance to do some sight seeing. Yesterday we visited the spectacular Potala Palace which sits on a hillside looming over the city. It was the former residence of the Dalai Lamas and is full of Buddha Statues (as is every building!).

We've also been to the Jokhang Temple and the Drepung Monastery and Craig got to his obligatory museum albeit because the third religious sight on the itinerary was closed due to the monks being on a picnic (we're not joking).

However, the most notable thing about our time in Lhasa was Craig's ability to totally shower David in Sprite at lunch yesterday. The waitress dropped the can but Craig decided to open it anyway, spraying over half the contents in a magnificent arc over the table and all over David. Some fast reactions just about saved Liz from a similar fate.

Tomorrow we leave Lhasa (and probably internet access) for about a week as we drive back towards Nepal seeing lots of scenery and monasteries on route.
