Monday, August 5 Lhasa - Shigatse
9:00 am start embarked along the Brahmaputra to Shigatse. A beginning road is still good, but walked on, traffic is getting worse, nearly 100 km, most of the side is on the hill side is the Brahmaputra. No vegetation on the mountain road were washed out mud-rock flow, and very dangerous, I have been nervous. Vehicle through the Department, dusty, we are in the middle of three cars had the windows were shut tight, but under the very hot sun, the car has no air conditioning (later found out, the local contractors are the drivers of the oil fee , no air conditioning can be fuel efficient, so when they do not buy a car air-conditioning), to choke us cruelly.
Each stop on the road easily, there will be many local children run over, if you want to give them some food, then you had better pay attention, and must be made one by one, rather than to bring it a large contracted them, will be robbed of light, so that smaller children there will be no. Way have also seen a rape, the blue sky white clouds yellow, very harmonious, but unfortunately the distant mountains are bare, brake scenery.
13:40, and finally arrived in Shigatse city. Due to local hotels have been better to take part in the festival of the Shanghai and Shandong Everest leaders filled, high-Board can only help us arrange Samzhub Zi Hotel, conditions are relatively poor. This no-star hotel actually hanging travel fixed signs, let me baffled.
A lunch on the road in Shandong, Sichuan restaurant to eat, taste very good, the boss said to have been washed many times our Board of brain, and He He. Arrangements for the afternoon resting in the room is really a waste of time. I am a person to look for a cafe, not easy to find in Shandong Road junction Everest 2, they are all full, and only returned, bitterly, by the way in the Internet cafe next to the post office to buy a postcard back to the room after the 11 written After a nap for a while.
Held in the evening to participate in the regional Office of the reception banquet, the results uninterested. Five of us go to the street after dinner walk to Shanghai Square, a billiard room upstairs want to play a few times, a Look at tables in this pool is terrible, and the result is still an hour to play ping-pong, feeling than when you struggled in Lhasa. After the end of and co-Xiao Wang went to the cafe of the Internet, and finally saw my little apprentice Ye's reply is a pity that she was actually still in Chengdu, saying that until about 20 into the Zang, it seems like the idea that she met in Tibet disappointed. TAO at night received the SMS, said she was due to altitude sickness and cons, is still in Lhasa Duodai day to come tomorrow, Shigatse, thinking that we live in anyway to Shigatse three days, always ending up on.
