Lhasa to Gynatse, Tibet
Our hotel room here in Gynatse is FREEZING COLD! We had rented a space heater for an extra 50Yuan, boy was it not worth it. Its a four sides space electric heater but they had taken the fuse out on 3 sides so it would not pop the circuit breaker. You can only feel the heat when you are 3 inches away from it. It is actually warmer outside than it is in the room.
We could hardly sleep it was so cold. Tucked away in our down sleeping bags that are rated for -5 deg C along with long underwear and hats we still are not warm.
We finally gave up at first light and wondered up to the roof top to watch the sunrise over the old fortress and to warm ourselves up.
