I will have to pause the TR and pick it up at some point in the coming days. I am now in the Japan part.
I arrived in Japan, through immigration no problem jumped on the bus to go to T1 all good so far. Then I went back out to exchange money, getting back in (airside) I realised I had left my transfer ticket in the lounge. It took around an hour to get back to airside and even then I was sent to the JL lounge at the other end of the airport.
The Dormy Inn @rbjhan had mentioned this chain in (her/his) TRs so I thought I would give it ago. The room is on the smaller side but I am used to Business Man’s hotels. The ammenities on the the top floor were fantastic, if I was allowed to take my camera I would have gone back up with my tripod and camera in an instant. The memory of sitting in the tub and seeing the crescent moon is not something I will not forget.

Time to pick up the TR again as I am many days in arrears, I am now in Japan and the biggest issue I have to deal with is the internet dropping out in the tunnels. That being said back to Tibet. The next stop was not a sacred lake, it was an obligatory driver rest stop. The lake was created by a local power company. We are still at altitude around 5000m, the rise from Lhasa (3650m) about 5-6 hours ago you soon realise how the simple act of walking a few stairs knocks the cough out of you. I have not had to use the ‘spare air’ (oxygen in a tin) since arrival in Tibet. One of the ladies and her husband seem to be suffering as they have sucked their tins dry, I gave them my tin which they accepted.
