this is why I'm not a landscape photographer. I simply could not do justice to the breathtaking vastness

on the road, no busses to be had to zoige that day, so we settled for south to langmusi. in and out, just enough time for alex to shop for knives (again) and eat a yak burger. still no busses, hard bargained for a taxi to zoige.

no pics of zoige, though the waterless hotel that locked us in deserved a shot. snuck onto a 6am bus for songpan the next morning

yeah, I'm not exactly sure where we stopped on this one. it should have taken six hours to get to kanding. it took two days...day one : stopped for rockslide. overnighted in what turned out to be a fantastic little city

currently renamed Shangrila. Based on the book, ignoring the original geography (middle of nowhere kham tibet). Reminiscent of Lijiang when it just started to get touristy

revisited. completely different. old town is almost entirely new. fortunately, my favorite hotel's still there, though it's tripled in price.

spectacular food, a night of cormorant fishing, old friends and new, a walk to get lost, a motorcycle ride back, a boat ride in the scenic zone, and a plethora of adult beverages
