Spent a relaxing day in Lhasa, Tibet walking around town.

Lots of photos here.

Briefly about Lhasa:

Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, sits at an altitude of 3,490 metres. It is one of the highest cities in the world. The city contains many culturally significant Tibetan Buddhist sites such as the Potala Palace, which we saw from the outside today and will be seeing from the inside in a couple of days – have to manage about 300 steps to get to the top, I’m sure it’s going to be a struggle at this altitude.

By the way all of us slept well yesterday evening, a great relief to all of us.

Smiles all around after a good night sleep!!

Lhasa is nicknamed the ‘City of Sunlight’ because of its frequent sunset against a dark blue sky.

We just can’t resist visiting a local pharmacy in Lhasa. Great staff – all smiling and all waiting for us to take lots of photos.
