Tibet – all good here in Lhasa, frosty and dry but amazingly interesting. We visited the Potala Palace today – the home of the Dalai Lama. It was built in 700AD and is an overwhelmingly spiritual centre. We’re at 3600m above sea level so the thin air is noticeable. It was a huff and a puff climbing up and into the modest room the Dalai Lama lived in before he was exiled in 1959. We have another day here tomorrow and then head South towards the Himalayas. Very excited.
