Spring time

Hot, hot, hot!

Springs, that is. After freezing in the cold, cold weather, and a little excursion on a windy mountain top, we agreed on a 20 yuan price for a taxi driver to take us out of town to some hot springs, which we heard of from the staff at our little hotel.

And true enough, there in the middle of nowhere, just a couple of farm houses around, and beneath some majestetic snowy mountain tops, was a little place with a big pool outside, full of hot steamy water. And nobody else :) So, in the cold air, we dived into the hot pool and a sea of steam... luvely, luvely :)

Coming back, we were faced with the probability of having to walk back for an hour and a half, as there were no taxis or such around. But we managed to flag down a passing truck, and got a hassle-free ride back.

Have also seen lots of yak, but haven't yet tasted yak milk or such...

Early tomorrow morning, we are heading out erven further into the 'wilderness', to a little village a few hours from here.

I'm loving this :)
