 Shigatse 日喀則 - Lhasa 拉薩

(click the hyperlink for the respective photo album)

We left in the morning for Lhasa.  It had been raining heavily since the night before again!  We were to try to go to Yamdrok Yumtso Lake 羊卓雍湖 this day.  Because of the rain, it was very cloudy.  We finally decided not to go to the lake.

By the time we were at Lhasa, it was around 2pm!  We had lunch in a restaurant on the 'Sun Island' in Lhasa. 

Most of the restaurants there made their own dried food, dried meat, dried chicken/duck etc.

We went to a local store to buy some eateries and stuff for souvenir

Our whole journey basically finished.  We had wanted to try some authentic local Tibetan meal, we asked our guide to arrange.  We went to a restaurant next to Potala Palace and had had a big fiesta with our driver and guide!  The men drank a lot of highland barley wine 青稞酒.  A lot of meat!  and a lot of local eateries! 

It was a very nice dinner. Our driver was very high and sang with Ronald dancing!
