Well, this is it. The last post of the trip! Officially we've been off the road for a week now. It's been a very busy week, moving into an apartment, applying for the Guinness record, and catching up with friends who we hadn't seen in nearly half a year. The last few days into Beijing were by no means easy though. We hit some of the coldest weather since Tibet, strongest winds since Urumqi, and boatloads of trucks.

Though not as long or difficult as our stretch on the G219, our trip north from Lhasa and out of Tibet was not without its challenges! But by the end of the three days there was no denying we were starting the next big leg of our journey.

Well the sand storms and desert heat from only a few weeks ago certainly seem far away now! Read about the start of our adventure on the G219 into Tibet as we hit snow, 5,000m high mountain passes, and the beautiful scenery of the Kunlun Mountains and into Tibet.
