Technically traveling is hard work and today was our first chance to sleep in as late as we wanted and generally do nothing except let our blisters and leech bites heal. It really felt like a holiday. It was fantastic 🙂

So not much to report. Hot and sunny. Played at an Internet cafe and managed to get a virus onto our camera’s sd card ! Ate more amazingly good food – it’s just so much better than Chinese – for a change we are eagerly anticipating the next meal instead of dreading it. Managed to download a pile of podcasts thanks to the guest house WiFi. Got our muddy washing done…. FOR US 🙂 and made arrangements to move on tomorrow to Huay Xai. Life is good. Very good.

[Gallery Update: Tibet photos tagged and sorted. Enjoy the Everest overload. Pics from Laos should be later today.]

[Update: Ok so I didn’t get to uploading more photos today. Will do tomorrow. But have updated the ‘Count de Monet’ page with figures to our exit from China. And yes I’m 3 days behind on posts. Today felt like a holiday for the first time in months. Back to ‘work’ tomorrow 🙂 ]
