We started today, 7:30am local time (Kathmandu) for Lhasa (Tibet).

 

Flight to Lhasa is 1:30min – so you would expect this is done in no-time!!!!?

 

Well, it is now 01:00am (local time) —- in Chengdu (Sergenti Hotel) which is further away from Lhasa then Kathmandu!!! (way further!!!!)

 

Hopefully tomorrow we get to Lhasa….

 

 

 

The whole story in short:

 

Flight was scheduled for 11:30

 

When we arrived delayed to 12:30

 

We boarded

 

Sweated in the plane for one hour (technical defect)

 

got out of the airplane

 

waited (got some lunch)

 

boarded again at around 4pm

 

flew towards Lhasa

 

Whether => redirected to Chengdu

 

China immigration (without China Visa – we “only” have one for Tibet)

 

Hotel

 

FOOOOOOODDDDDD

 

 

 

We made the best out of it and had some really nice street food across the street (Hotel restaurants already closed)

 

keep on thinking positiv!!!!
