A bit of rain for us overnight.
Snow higher up.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
We started early. About 8am Beijing Time, 6am local time.
We have 450 km to drive. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
These are wild asses.
I now know that a donkey is a domesticated ass.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
For a while we thought we were looking at Annapurna and
Dhaulagiri.
But later figured they were Api and Saipal.
Due south of where we camped last night but previously hidden. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
But we took a close up anyway.
Higher than 7,000m.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
We'd noticed sand dunes along the base of the foothills.
Then we passed through some. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Its a river, not a lake.
The old road in the foreground.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
We'd started before breakfast. Had a rest after about 150
km for breakfast and refill water tanks.
Then stopped for lunch after about 300 km.
What else but a Chinese Restaurant. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
This is the first house with sloping roof we've seen. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Intrigued.
What was once a substantial stone building. There were other ruins
nearby, including one on a rocky promontory.
Not a clue as to what or why. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Stopped for the night about 32 km west of Saga.
By the river.
Leng Bu Gang Ri is the Chinese name. Not named on our map. 8,470m. |
