9:54pm, Zhangmu, Tibet
It's
about 10 o'clock at night, and we are in
Zhangmu, so we have crossed the border into
Tibet. It was quite a journey getting
here, the road was washed out so we had to hire
80-90 porters to carry our gear across and get
on small buses, then travel for another couple
miles and get onto more buses, it took us a long
time, when we got to the border it was closed,
but doing a few manipulations and convincing a
few Chinese officials, they let us cross the
border and we made it to Zhangmu on time.
We
ended up taking another rest day here,
because there was no transportation to go
up to Naalam. So at 7,000 feet,
everybody is great, we have met all of our
Chinese people, we are psyched, our loads
are good to go and we will head up to
Naalam tomorrow morning and we will give
you a call from there. Everyone else
is great and healthy and enjoying the
trip. It's been raining but things
seem like they will clear up soon.
We'll talk to you tomorrow.
