Cold and wet

So, we survived the first bit of the camping up by the Nam Tso lake which like most places in Tibet, it seems, is considered holy. The lake itself was lovely, but it rained really hard both nights so we hardly got any sleep, and woke up surrounded by yaks which was quite funny. Re the yaks, think I have eaten some of them every day, last night had a yak cheeseburger with yak cheese, but also had steak, curry, chow mein, stew, and pretty much every variation you can think of.

Today been back in Lhasa and went round another two monasteries, of which I am becoming rather tired of as they all look pretty similar inside and smell of melted yak butter. There may be a mutiny ahead as I'm not the only one! Only about another four to go though. But the afternoon one was quite cool today as it was the one where the monks sit in the courtyard all afternoon and debate loudly using hand signals and ridiculous gestures.

Going to finish now as off for dinner (more yak probably) might do a bit more tomorrow as not sure when I'll next be able to get net access once we leave Lhasa!
