Arrived in Lhasa (with all my bags)

You heard it right. In Lhasa with all my bags.  This is a very good thing. Lhasa is the official start of the trip, so now we are in the capable hands of our Guides. Tonight we are all taking it easy, what with the air being so thin. It is a little over 12,000 feet.

We will be in Lhasa for the rest of today and two more days of sight-seeing. So at the moment we are all drinking water and starting the acclimatization program. Then we head into the mountains.

Signing off from a very sunny Lhasa.
