7 Days in Tibet: Day 2
. The Road Trip Begins .
It is almost noon, and we still haven’t heard from the travel agent. The six others and I (four Americans, a Polish couple and an Aussie) sit waiting for the land cruiser to show up and spirit us off on the road trip. It takes a walk over to the agent’s office, and an interruption of her sales pitch to a new client to get everything started. Unfortunately, there is no land-cruiser and we are shifted into a more spacious, but less off-road friendly van. It is one day later than anticipated, but everybody is excited. To further the hype, we even found a stock of PBR for the journey!
The van turns out to be slow on bumpy dirt roads, and we get to our destination after closing hours. It’s a cold night, but a few beers and group camaraderie warm up the evening on a positive close.
