We are just crossing the Chinal/Tibet border into Nepal having descended the worlds biggest downhill descent. Spectacular in every kilometre. From the snowy desert of. Tibet through Alpine country to Tropical Nepal. I will hopefully post photos etc when we hit Katmandu tomorrow... After an awesome trip through Tibet via Everest Base Camp to Katmandu.

Overnighter in Shigatse with morning sightseeing around the Ta Shi Lhun Monestry still inhabited by around 300 Budhist Monks. Lunch again contained a variety of Yak on the menu and we have tried them all... Yak Sizzler, Yak Curry, Yak Kebab, Yak Burger etc etc. is pretty good. We are at around 4000 metres above see level and over the next few days climb to 5000 takes your breath away c30% less Oxygen.

Tashi Restaurant, Gyigyi Nangkar Street, Shigatsee, Tibet. Just eaten my MoMo and Fried Dall after a 95k spin across the Tibetan Plateau. Ladies digging the ditches while the men ploughed with Yak and single furrow plough. Here for 2 nights before we enter the real mountains. First sight of Everest is a week away. Blog may be silent until Katmandu in around 10 days no wifi and no showers etc... smelly smelly...
