Juli woke up feeling a bit better and we decided to go all together to Shigatse. It was a long way, around 6 hours to Shigatse, where we had to spend a night and next day, we were going to see Everest!!!
We crossed mountains and arrived to beautiful Yamdrok lake. Our guide told us that if we don’t stop in the very top of the mountain for the picture, we can skip paying 40 yuan and just couple of meters below take it for free :-D
As usual, when you stop anywhere in Tibet, locals come to ask for money or intend to sell you something :-D
after taking some pictures, we arrived to some checking point (new thing as we’ve been told by our guide), where we’ve been asked to pay 40 yuan for passing the lake. Our guide, You Dun and our driver started to fight with the guys who asked for money and finally in 10 minutes we passed the checking point without paying anything :D
We stop on the way for lunch – free buffer of vegetable curry, meat, rice and noodles together with tea – 40 yuan per person! (4 euro) Not bad :D
Finally we arrive to Shigatse and go to our hotel. 3 stars hotel again, big room with private bathroom just in the center of the town!
Later same day we bought a collar for Juli, to fix his neck and reduce the pain. It was a pretty modern inflatable collar....here he are!!!
We have dinner in one of the restaurants and finally go to sleep…Tomorrow – Everest base camp!!!
