Well, we're in Ulanbataar for our final night in Mongolia. If you're wondering why there's been so few posts, it's because we've spent the last three nights in Gers, which are the portable housing used by Mongolian nomads... and also some of the Mongolians in the city too.
The countryside here is just rolling grassed plains with mountains in the distance. It's truly breathtaking. The Gers were comfortable and warm, we relaxed a lot, rode some horses, visited some temples, drank with our tour group and ate pretty decently too.
Prior to the Ger camps, it was a day and a half on the train from Beijing. The train was far more comfortable than I thought it would be and the scenery far, far more stunning than I could have imagined. I'm really looking forward to the three and a half days en route to Moscow. We get on the train tomorrow afternoon.
Well, that's the short version, hopefully there will be a long version soon-ish but it definitely won't be until Moscow, and might not even be until London (we arrive on the 6th).
