Rest Day in Shigatse

Today is rest day...a much deserved rest day! We didn't have a full day of activities, just a visit to Tashilunpo Monastery.

We had the afternoon free to ourselves, so Mat and I decided to walk around the marketplace and maybe have some momos and beer at a local spot on a side street, where the locals would go. We definitely found the spot - off the marketplace, on a side street, no sign, locals drinking butter tea and playing games, and us totally out of place. However, the momos were cheap and delicious! Even after few bottles of Lhasa Beer ('from the roof of the world') and double order of momos, we were still hungry. We decided to check out Gongkar Tibetan Restaurant for dinner...they definitely offered many dishes but we were not impressed with the food or service.
