April 15 Lhasa sunny morning today, cat, and I'm going to Shigatse, not yet out, there are two people come its way.
"We saw your message posted on the inn, and we also want to go to Ali, you find the car yet?" Giving her two girls in pigtails first asked. We talked about each other a simple situation.
Girl said: "We just returned from Shenzhen to, I'm Shanshan, this is my big brother." Originally two brothers and sisters, standing next to the big man do not speak, do not say, I thought it was bodyguards do.
cat, and I would like to coachman, handed them over to the LC, we hastily hit the road. Who would have thought to find the car today, do not Yamdrok Lake said, adding that the taxi could not walk the old road to go, let us walk a new path to Shigatse, obtain other cars Shui back Yamdrok Lake, I really do not understand, yesterday cars are gone?
"If you must pass through Yamdrok Lake to Shigatse, I'll take you to the exit road out of Lhasa, stopped trucks crossing the bar, now repaired, new roads, buses can go directly to Shigatse and will not go through the Yamdrok Lake of the the old road. "proposal to the driver.
I stood on the road, past an endless stream of vehicles, is actually very easy to intercept the car, but they walk a new path. Waited more than an hour, we finally disappointed. cat said: "We still first Xigaze it." Now think about going out, and can not go back again, but go to the passenger terminal of the car.
Terminal too great to be in the Sichuan-Tibet line, as we have a small passenger terminal, where, after all, the capital of Tibet, to the car a lot of Shigatse, in addition to fixed-point flights fully booked on the outside there are some open cars. Ran to waste a lot of time, and now have almost noon, and fixed frequency as early as counted, and now fewer passengers, the driver is not filled with dead passengers will not be opened.
Only in the car a daze, I think, if I return to Shigatse and then Shui Yamdrok Lake, then still have to return to Shigatse, I travel the most hated turning back, not only a waste of time, but also a waste of money, as well as tedious experience, I walk past, if a conditional return, even take a further step will be another election the road. More and more convinced that boring, not to return to their hotel by LC do laugh, possession, he does, I am pleased. With this in mind, I right cat said: "The better we do not go, do not need to Yamdrok Lake and walked up and down between Shigatse, we are not in a hurry to find vehicles are go."
"No problem, anyway, I feel very comfortable to live in Lhasa, even if nothing in this dry, the sun can also be a few days."
We agree, his face wiped out the gloom, was pleased to pick up the luggage to get off, leaving only the driver, looking at our sad silhouette, he must regret not Yishang Che can be received our money. After the experience of how to prove that this decision is correct.
Back to the auspicious day, we were surprised why we are coming back, LC, and YUME do not know where to play go, just broadcast CCTV Water-splashing Festival in Xishuangbanna, great atmosphere, a little regret when you did not go through the Yunnan Xishuangbanna.

Cars only to the foot, I remember that Pakistan can have direct access door talked YUME, and later found out only this morning outside the Jokhang Temple have direct access to the CMB, and now can only walk up the hill, can not think of a very high hill climb looks not so difficult, No one breath over asthma almost fainted before noon, not eaten anything in mind, but also mountain plateau at an altitude of several kilometers, quickly took the package of chocolate to complement the physical, but luck was not found in the camera bag, it must be forgotten In the hotel has.
