Chilling (literally) in UB, Mongolia
... each found ways to secretly dispose of it when our hosts weren't watching. There were only three horses, so with our guide we went in two's starting with Mitch and I. The horses are small (more like ponies) and had great furry winter coats and a sandy red/brown colouring. They were stout, tough little guys necessary for the harsh Mongolian winter. I don't have the words to do justice to how beautiful the countryside was. We were in a valley between high hills, with a scattering ...

Back in the Ger we packed up our stuff and Ryan then went for a walk up one of the surrounding hills, once back we got chatting to an Australian lady and ...
Days 31 to 33: Trans-Mongolian train
... random.
All in all it took us 9 hours to travel the 20km between the two borders!
