Rough Edge

There are lots of great stories and loads of amazing pictures from the past few days, but I will have to be patient and load them when I have a reliable connection. Here in Shangri La the pace is slow and the people are very friendly. This is the first place where you can really feel the Tibetan influence. Off up a mountain tomorrow, then on to the most North Westerly tip of Yunnan – Deqin, the furthest point of this trip. So sorry to disappoint with no pics since Sunday, but this computer takes 15 mins just to load the blog, so full stories will have to wait. Look out for “the grumpy farmer and his hovel” “my indignant American trekking partner”, “Join the hoards and trek the gorge”, “How not to organise transport”, ÄWESOME water”and picturesque Shangri La. Take it easy. (Zhong Dian 16 July)

I am in Shangri La (Zhong Dian) the Shangri La bit is a marketing exercise…
This place is 3200m high so it’s good I’ve already been higher than that, otherwise I would have to acclimatise to being here. The internet connection I am using is rubbish, so there will be no pics I am afraid until I find a better way to upload. (Zhong Dian 16 July)
