. Delayed in Lhasa .

We are already one day late. The permits took longer to acquire than the travel agent estimated. This puts me one day behind schedule for leaving the country before my visa expires, and another in the group is now going to be a day late for his flight back to Shanghai. The extra day cost me another hundred dollars for a seven-day visa extension. It is a little frustrating, but I’m off for a six day epic across Tibet, stopping at monasteries, old towns and culminating with the tallest peak in the world: Mt. Everest! On top of building anticipation, the extra day in Lhasa was kissed by a light snowfall that glazed the surrounding mountains and provided a perfect backdrop for a day of relaxing before the journey.
