Dare to be you
Maandag, 23 september 2013
Na laaaaaaaaang onderhandelen vertrekken we uiteindelijk uit MaNiGanGo naar Serchu. In het busje worden we getrakteerd op koekjes en kippepootjes. Dat laatste wijzen we vriendelijk af, maar het eerste smullen we naar binnen.
De tocht gaat terug over humpie-bumpie-roads. Opeens…STOP… Wat gebeurt er? Blijkbaar zijn ze de baan aan het asfalteren. Geen doorgang…tot 18u. Wat? Nog 5 uur wachten.
Ilse, the paparazzi, took some stunning pictures from Tibetan people.
Enjoy the pictures, taken with a special Leica wide angle lens…
See his website www.tzphoto.net for more information.
It is time to continue our trip… The weather feels like us, sad that we have to leave this beautiful oasis. The rain pours down.
Luckily we don’t have to wait a long time for a minivan to MaNiGanGe, a dirty place full of roadworks. We want to leave this place as soon as possible, so we just eat a delicious thukpa (noodles and yak meat) and search then for a minivan to DeGe… After some discussing about prices – here they really try to lure us – we take a van to DeGe, over the famous Chola pas on 5050m, guarded by the majestic Chola Shan (6168m).
When we arrive there, we head to the guesthouse, a little further uphill… We are greeted by an oasis of rest, a very friendly monk and a quit, nice sleeping room.
Hmmm, this gives another feeling. We love this place at first sight.
The monk offers to prepare a meal for us, just a pair of instant noodles. We were hoping on some vegetables, but not this time.
