We make a pit stop on a train station somewhere in Siberia, between Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk, Russia.

Rainy, rainy day on Koh Lanta. At least our bungalows — the Fruit Tree Lodge in Long Beach — are very nice.
We made it to the Tibetan village of Tagong, high up in the mountains, where we visited a monastery after a lengthy hike fighting altitude weakness.
Hanging out on a mountain — this time no hike, very easy and pleasant — hitched a ride to the chairlift (~8 km from Mestia) and then onwards and upwards by the mechanical wonder. The image is of mountain Ushba, which refused to part with the clouds on that day.
Hiking (or riding, really) up Paoma Shan in Kangding. Some awesome views, and a great first day of our Tibet adventure.
Things looking up and a view down from our Green View “Villa” on a plantation (-esque) in Munnar, India.
