Mon, 4/23.  Back to sea level!  I can breath again.  (Stopped to see a yak.  About the same size as Mongolia’s yaks despite claims that they are shoulder height.)

Drizzle rain, which marred some excellent countryside views.  Bus needed to take a 30 minute detour because driver was new and hadn’t brought the proper paperwork.  Tour buses need permission to leave the city.  Getting to the boat required a walk down a hundred steps, walking across a gangway only 18 inches wide, then crossing through two nested riverboats.  In the rain.

The riverboat is a boat.  Nothing special.
