Checked into our hotel in Amdo – or at least tried to! Unfortunately on this occasion, we were told if we wanted to stay we had to go to the local police station, register ourselves and get permission to be able to stay at the hotel.
This was the only decent hotel in town, a refusal would have meant we were stuffed for the evening. Fortunately enough, all worked out well, despite the formalities.

After checking in, we decided on our usual walkabout and met some interesting people……….

Visiting a local pharmacy to buy some Diamox – no success, however we were going to be sold a ginseng product. Well, it will do for now.
After this experience, we made no attempt on this occasion to purchase the pharmacy.
