After a slightly scary and lengthy border crossing we arrived in Ulan Bator.

Mongolia's wicked - a mix of old Russian communism, traditional Mongolian Temples and costume with modern Capitalism trying to sneak through. It's beautiful, the people are wicked and the kids are dead cute.

We found a bar that was showing the match (T&T) - 'Dave's Place' - and got on the beers... We're 8 hours ahead so it was 1 am here but we were still with you in spirit and our support - although at 80 minutes we wondered whether we should have bothered.

Off to the Gobi desert tomorrow to sleep in a Ger tent and ride camels...

Write messages on our message board! We want to know what's going on with you!!!! x

Hey Mongolian Explorers, how's it going? I can't believe how far you have travelled already.

I had the strangest dream about the pair of you last night. I dreamt that you were on the Trans-Siberian Express but that Mark was the train driver and the train was going out of control. I am not quite sure if I was on the train or not. Amy, you were swigging back vodka next to Mark at the co... show all

You're well and truly embracing the local culture - the nannas at the train station, the wide variety of head gear and of course bartering with the mafia in Russia - how brilliant. Take care and send news of adventures, Sade xxxx

Dear Mark & Amy,

You look like you are having a great time, good photos.
I have sent a longer e-mail to Mark's e-mail but I look forward to tracking your progress
Love Claire
