The first was to the local monastery. This was no ordinary monastery as it contained a real treasure. It is so precious that it is kept locked away and visitors need to make a donation to the monastery to get the cabinet unlocked. As the contents may be the only example in the world, it was worth coughing up a few rupees.
Can you guess what we were about to see? We'll show you a picture and see if that helps.
We've mentioned the owner at least once before in this blog. Sadly this is about the closest we're likely to ever get, but we would like to have met one for real. We certainly won't now we're back home, as they certainly wouldn't be seen outside the high Himalayas.
Hopefully you've had enough clues by now to know that we were sitting behind a yeti skull. We don't suppose any any of our readers have had this same priviledge.
Like most people, what we knew about yetis could be written on the back of a postage stamp. It was good, therefore, to find lots of information (in English!) all about the yeti skull.
It was fascinating stuff.
Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

Ooh that's very strange! What was it doing in a monastery though? Hope it didn't put you off your tea!
