I spent last night in the hotel watching Tibetan TV, which more or less consists of fifty-odd channels shamelessly promoting the greatness of China, from incredible feats in surgery to engineering. I flick through the entire range several times amazed that there are no international news channels or English-speaking programmes.
I didn't sleep well last night but I'm revived by my new addiction: masala tea.
Today we're driving to Gyantse via Yamdrok-tso, one of Tibet's four holy lakes. As we leave Lhasa we travel though wide open landscapes of mountains, rivers and yellow trees, all resplendent under a bright cobalt-blue sky. Soon we climbing into scenery not unlike that of the Atlas Mountains.
