Dear Gloria and Eileen,

We have just got back from the most wonderful holiday. Everything has been perfect, the only imperfection being the fact that we do not have enough time to stay longer here. I must comment on Nancy, our guide in Beijing and Pemba our guide here in Tibet. They are both outstanding. Nancy made our stay in Beijing most memorable and her knowledge of the places we visited excellent. Pemba too is extremely knowledgeable and like Nancy has a good sense of humour. Any doubts I may have had prior to leaving dissolved as soon as I got the Hong Kong to Beijing Dragonaire ticket the moment we checked in to our hotel. The guides and drivers through out the journey were excellent but special mention must be made of the following guides, Nancy in Beijing, Pemba in Tibet and Prakash in Varanasi and the following drivers, Mr. Chan in Beijing, Hecktun La in Tibet and Anand Singh from Agra to Delhi. They had a special sparkle to them that made their contribution outstanding.

Dear old Gyantse had a very friendly staff, who communicated with us very successfully by sign language. The hotel there was what we had anticipated and we were not disappointed by it.

Finally we have to thank both of you for being so extremely efficient in arranging this for us. It was PERFECT. We have brought back many memories of China, Tibet, Nepal and India. We have also learnt a lot of the culture of China and Tibet with which we were not at all familiar. Once again many thanks for an excellent visit so far and I am SURE it is going to continue,


With our best regards,

Pratha.
