Well, after Xigatse, we head to Gyantse, only 100 kms up the road. We head to yet another monestary, Palcho monastery, and the scenery reminds me a little of the movie Mortal Kombat. Dark brooding clouds in the background, strange religious temples and a mountain top fortress....almost a Hollywood set. 
Day 5 dawns with us heading for our final destination, Lhasa. We skirt by the breathtaking (seems like I use that word a lot in Tibet) Lake Yamdrok Yam Tso for over an hour, and believe me, it is breathtaking. But the trip is nearly over, and our travel weary bodies yearn for a few days of R&R. Personally, I have wanted to visit Tibet, and in particular Lhasa, for at least 10 years, so today holds for me a special achievement. Anticipation and excitement builds as we approach the Tibetan capital.
