So the last day of our car trip.. We left Old Tingri in early time so that we'll get to the border at it's open times. We even took this American fellow John to ride with us, we met him the day before in the courtyard and he told that he's been cycling through France almost all the way to here.. Crazy fellow =)

The day's ride was long before we got to the border, but it was really nice seeing how the scenery changes on the way. I was even almost scared on the way because the (sandy) road winded on the side of the mountains; and from it the drop was at points some 400 meters straight down to a river..

When we finally got there, the border town was quite a sight in itself.. Just on the side of the mountain, people live in these houses and huts with an awesome view to the valleys below..

We changed countries quickly, eager to get out of China, and on to the warmth of Nepal.. Still we had to take an another ride from the border to Kathmandu which took some 5 hours.. We dreamt of pizza all the way.. =)
