We took it real slow this day. Walked around our favorite parts of Lhasa (tried to avoid the yak butchers, we've had enough of that), avoided buying last minute souvenirs, hung out at Cafe nomad reading our books, and shopped for supplies. Between John, Pete, and I, we invested in a flat of canned Nescafe (sweetened with cream, ready to drink kind), a whole box of chocolates, potato flavored Pringles, and of course instant noodles, just in case... Our guide warned us that it would be very very cold near the (Everest) base camp, so I even invested in the highest quality Chinese sleeping bag for $20. It is as large as a goat (without legs) and if you yank on the compression cords to make it smaller, the strap breaks :)
We then met with the travel agency where we emptied our pockets of all money, and met our driver (Tenzin) and guide (John-Wang?)
