22 Tao Pa
Just in case some of you started to think Tibet was still only in black and white...
Well, it also comes in blue :)

22 Tao Pa
"22 Tao Pa" is the name I understood for this tiny place, lost in the great Tibetan plateau (my understanding of chinese being pretty much limited to numbers)
The truck drivers left me at a guesthouse for the night. With everything i tend to said about China, i must acknowledge that my drivers were extremely nice to me. They even shared the food they had packed for the road with the silly tourist who had left for a trip across Tibet without any supply!
After a good night's sleep i felt much better. The sun was now high and bright and i woke up to discover the place in daylight. The guesthouse was held by an adorable family. After i played some songs, the dad tried playing my guitar. And the little girl, amused by my way of taking pictures of everything started to shoot me with a toy camera!

Hitchhiking Tibet #5
As the sun was setting the second day, I felt awfully weak and tired, and the perspective of spending another cold night in the truck started to scare me.
That's when we reached heaven!
We approached another tiny village and the drivers told me: "we have to turn right just after this village, but if you want to reach mount Kailash , you must continue straight ahead; we'll just drop you here where you can spend the night."
Although not sure yet of where I'd sleep, I couldn't have dreamt of a better proposal; I was more than ready for a break!
