8 days in Tibet

---

I'm going tomorrow. Flying from London through Chine to get to Tibet. I want to hike, but have no time to acclimatise. Am I a fool or just optimistic, will I be able to do it? I have run out of holidays but I really want to do this. I love slow travel so the only way to do it is to get there and then start walking. Most of the people that have been keep telling me it can't be done... this only makes me want to do it more than anything.

So the plan, I get to Cheng Du on Saturday, get to Lhasa on Sunday, start the hike on Tuesday (from Ganden to Samye monestery). Get back to Lhasa on Saturday night and head back to my desk in London.

Wish me luck! I will need it this time.

Woweee... how exciting! Good luck with it all and be careful - I once was at high altitude and felt sick for the first couple of days. But knowing you, I'm sure you'll do it and love it!

Hey Fem, goed excus niet? Ik ga je bellen als ik terug ben want ik ben op 23 Sept in Nederland en hoopte dan even een kopje thee met je te doen (en je natuurlijk te vervelen met mijn verhalen). Dikke kus, Fi
