Arrived in "Lhasa"

Arrived in "Lhasa". All went smoothly with Chinese visas, apparently they can sometimes be a pain to obtain.

We checked into hotel and took a walk into the hustle of "old town Lhasa". We experienced noddles from the side streets and went down a ally to a little tea room and had Chi tea with the locals which was a really unique experience. A monk came in that looked like "Buddha" he sat down with a group of old ladies. Then his mobile went off.... "Modern Monk" awesome!

We are at 3756m and all feeling good. Spirits are high and all looking forward to more sightseeing tomorrow before the start of the trek day after.

Dynamics in the group are great, really good bunch of people with a nice mix of personalities. It's gonna be a good trip.
