I didn’t make it to Namtso Lake today. There was road closure and all the vehicles were turned away. Looks like Namtso Lake won’t be officially accessible until spring of next year.
We went to the travel agency to pay the final bill this evening. The two Chinese men who were our possible fourth and fifth person decided they didn't want to go for 6 days and just wanted 5 days so they planned to start their own group. So within half an hour we walked the streets and picked up another guy named Rupert from England who just arrived in Tibet in the afternoon. He also flew in and looked really tired. But he was up for taking off the next day with us so we found our fourth traveling companion. Rupert now works in Australian Gov. in the intelligence department.
