Today was a slow day. We woke up in Gyantse, visited the monastery there (what else?) and took a bizzillion pictures at the Gyantse Kumbum (means 100,000 images). Lots and lots of murals from the 14th century. Today's drive was only 90km long and we arrived in Shigatse around noon. After a visit to the Tashilhunpo monastery (the only monastery that was not destroyed during the Cultural Revolution) we were free!
It's a Sunday, even the monks have the day off, so we could not find much to do. So here we all are, at a smoked, dirty and loud internet cafe, tending to our blogging and photo editing duties... Pete and John have been shooting photos non-stop so their job will take longer than mine...
My eyes are watering and my nose is burning from the smoke, so much for the fresh air of the mountains...
