"Arrival in Lhasa, Tibet" - Tom Triplitt

One Leg of our flight to Lhasa

Arrival at Hotel in Lhasa

We had a very early (5:30 AM) departure for the beautiful Pudong Airport in Shanghai for our trip to Tibet. We had two 3-hour flights and then a 2-hour bus ride to get to Lhasa, Tibet. Kate actually gave a us some free time to acclimate to the altitude of over 13000 feet before going out to dinner. Everyone turned in early to prepare for our day on Friday, which includes the unbelievable Potala Temple.

We are at 13000 feet and my brain is feeling the effects of the altitude!
