along the way we have been reminded a few times that what we do is nothing special. we are pretty comfortable with all our expensive gear and fancy bikes. weve met chinese cyclist with almost no gear and bad one-speed bikes. today we met three tibetans doing a pilgrimage to lhasa in the slowest way possible. they lie down on the ground with their arms out, then stand up and walk to where their hands were and then lie down again. it had taken them three months from batang (it took us 7 days...) and it would take them another 8-9 months to reach lhasa!
we rolled into baxoi for lunch and decided to stay there for the night.

Tjena grabbar! Helt underbara bilder. Blir så sugen, så sugen... Hoppas att ert stridsvärde är högt (= välbefinnande). Här hemma förgylls min vardag med kontorsstress, tvättstuga och bilköer. Paddla på, vaje tramptag räknas!
