Strictly part of China, Tibet deserves its own page here. In order to get here we booked an 8 day tour from Lhasa that even took us to Everest Base Camp. The people here were some of the kindest we have come across and the culture is incredible. Photos of our time are below.

ReplyDeleteGreat exposé and photographs. It sounds and looks like you are both having a ball, most of the time. Keep it up! Love Mum, Aleysha
