On to Lake Baikal
Breakfast was a massive buffet which will supply us with food for the train (We're not a card carrying AARP members for nothing). We spent our last day in UB at the cultural museum of Mongolia - something like our Smithsonian museum of American History, then walked around the streets looking in shops. Had a Mongolian hot pot dinner with steak, …
Rain takes you indoors shopping - great excuse
Morning to hike to sacred stone - a stupa - about 2 miles away from camp and up a rocky hill - oh, and 2 miles back. Great 360 degree view even to Chiingis monument. And then we loaded our tooshes onto horses and rode across the plain to a family's summer camp where we entered the ger of a woman 60 who looked like she could be my mom. We were …
Oh S**t its the wrong train, leg it!!
Today we checked out and went off to the black market. We used the hotel to order us a taxi to get there. They kept asking us are you sure you want to go there? They didn't really seem to want to order us a taxi to go there. They kept offering us alternative options, but our hearts were set on buying a rug.
Once inside, we went looking for …

Another Ger camp and Mongolia's capital city

We stopped off at our first Buddhist monastery (first of many I'm sure), a bit different to your normal church, with a 20m gold statue in the middle with hundreds of brass cylinders that the locals turn to save them from having to read the holy books.

“ Four star hotel without air conditioning? ”
Reviewed Jul 26, 2010
This hotel was in quite a good location and in reasonable condition, but it seemed strange that our room wouldn't have air conditioning in a city like Ulaanbaatar which can reach temperatures in the 40's Celsius in summer. Even stranger was how this place earned an apparent four star rating. We needed to open all the windows and balcony door which unfortunately would then encourage bugs into the room, and resulted in a very poor night of sleep. This hotel consisted of two towers - one which appeared to have air conditioning, so I can't understand why ours was without.
