My google fu has run out of gas. I distinctly remember a documentary style travelogue in which Peter travels through Tibet/Nepal. The scene I am trying to find is one where the whole crew is sick with altitude sickness and flu and they encounter a female native on horseback who laughs and rides away. I am certain I have seen this but can find zero web reference, so… A little hep? Thanks ---

There is a Michael Palin travelogue documentary, [Himalaya](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=lNxmKfM1sd0#t=1484), where he and the crew suffer altitude sickness. And there’s Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s [Long Way Round](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x10awkj_long-way-round-episode-5_travel&start=552) where they encounter a native guy on horseback in Mongolia who laughs and rides away. ---

Thanks, it was the Palin one, now seeking brain mechanic to see how I could have slipped mental gears so badly. Thanks
