Well, we finally made it to Tibet after almost 48 hours on the train. It was such a scramble getting the permit in time - we only received it by email on Tuesday morning and we were supposed to leave on the train that afternoon. But it arrived in the end and our group of 7 all managed to be in the right place at the right time to catch the train. What a relief!
We arrived in Lhasa this afternoon and were met by our Tibetan guide. We organised everything with her via email so it was nice to finally put a face to the name. We are all a bit tired and headachy due to the change in altitude - the train was over 5000m above sea level at one point! But we are all looking forward to starting the tour proper tomorrow morning.
More of an update later as we only have a few minutes of internet to let everyone know we arrived.
