Heavy winds last night caused a major
power outage. We woke to snow (earliest snow in years) and downed
trees everywhere. Roads were blocked and
our guide was an hour and a half late getting to the hotel because of the road
conditions.
Needless to say we missed
our 10:00 am flight to Lhasa. So we
drove through a small nearby village to kill some time. One of the main intersections was decorated with lots of colorful flowers (all artificial).
Another airport with an interesting ceiling. |
While at the airport we made the acquaintance of four monks traveling to Lhasa. Our guide translated for us. The oldest monk tried on Paul's glasses, and flirted with our guide. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 5:45 and was delayed until 7:00pm. Talk about a long day. Arrived in Lhasa that night and then had couple hour drive to Tsedang, arriving at midnight.
Our new friends |
