Dave sent us an OBDII connector which we collected in Lhasa.

This bit is from a BMW. 40 pins, which when opened up has only three wires.

Just what we need - the three wires are connected to the correct pins in the OBDII (left hand) socket.

Cut it, connect to the right wire in our new socket. Add +ve and -ve from cigarette lighter socket to the other two wires.

Connect special cable from socket to USB on computer.

Alas, unable to read the engine control unit. We'll have to wait until we are home, unless something else goes wrong. 

We've seen lots, just hard to photograph on the fly.

This is the bit we didn't visit.

The slow process of decorating the eaves.

Basically square with one entrance.

The small sticks pass through the wall providing a bit of "air conditioning".

From trees that only grow above about 4,000m - I guess it reduces the transport cost.

Probably because they've been chopped down for front doors!!!!!

Guarded by snow lions.

There's apparently a Mongolian influence to the architecture.

Perhaps a result of the support of the Mongolians in maintaining power.

This is the assembly hall.

A lot of the chapels were dark.

We also found a lot of warding off demons.

At one time the Sakya Sect may have ruled Tibet.

We passed a cycling tour camped for the night with their support vehicle.

Stopped to share the marmots camp site.

We filled the water tanks.
