Quick Snapshot of the rest of Tibet...

---

Important to note that there are no paved roads in Tibet (or at least not where we were) so very bumpy ride with 6 in a Land Rover.

After the day from hell we headed off to Gyantse, where we enjoyed the beautiful Kumbum (yes, that is what its called) and it is a building with 7 floors each with at least 6 chapel/buddist gods in it. Gyantse was also the home of the best sweet and sour chicken to date.

Then off to Shigatse to a huge monestary, about 700 monks currently live there. Then to Latse, where somewhere in between I (Alex) got terribly sick, fever and all... so I spent the night hiding from the cows with T taking good care of me.

Then to Everest Base Camp, where my favorite tent was named 'Hotel Califoria'. We stayed in the monestary, which was modest at best... there is a great window story about this stay...which involved a few drinks at 5190m and some peeping kids... will elaborate later at a more appropriate time.

Then a few days of travel and sights and back to Lhasa.... then off to Chengdu, then Hong Kong and now India. Four flighs in 4 days, and we are almost in Kolkata!
