Great journey to Tibet. I just watched almost all of yours pictures from China and I am impressed, also the reports were very good. Places where you were been to are a litlle bit mistical for me but after watching your photos I know that I need to go there soon.

Hi Isabelle
Thanks for yours.
Probably for the first time since we met, I have no immediate plans for travel.
I think our next major plan is for daughter's wedding in May and then we have booked a cottage in NW Wales for a week to wind down.
How about you?
Cheers
David

Yes, Isabelle, I can imagine what you said about the reality. In the meantime I have seen other pics of the lake in a different atmosphere (with a soupcon of snow) - very captivating, too. Thanks for sharing!
Salut - Petra

funny - I watched your new pics and didn't come to terms with giving 5* to your Turquoise Lake photos. I love them!
Kindest regards - Petra

I am not sure about the movie. we went there the first time. unfortunately the german president choose the same day for his visit... we couldnt get in.
the surrounding and the castle is spectacular... they say its probaly the most beautiful castle in germany, located near Koblenz and Mosel river.

Isabelle, I should clarify something after I got a warning message from Petra. I just would like to leave my comments and give you another perspective about how a native Chinese thinks of the situation in Tibet, China is open to you, you may do whatever you want there. I planned to go to Tibet too this may when I was back, but I had to cancel, because of the riots happened in March. Situation was dangerous, Tibetans used knives and weapons attacked people there. We, Han and Tibetan living peacefully more than 1000 years, I did not know why things changed dramatically. It is the faults of the chinese who also lived there thousands years with Tibetans or the so called Dalai Lama, who easily won the sympathy of the world for his smile! But things make big because he used your sympathy for private benefits. Did you know what his life was like before he left China? He did this really for the Tibetans?
Again, Isabelle, I had no intention to offend you, if you did feel this, i apologize
