Gurning at the Mongolian Border. We'd be pulling faces there of one sort or another for the next 5 hours!!

Yay! We're officially in Mongolia!

gers.JPG

Our first sighting of some gers! Although judging by the powerlines and stockade, these don't appear to be nomads!

A friendly Mongolian traffic cop, who gleefully signed Sammy's bonnet...

The main road in this town had completely disappeared under an enormous mud-slide! Urk!

Look Dave! Camels! The nomads round here'll herd anything!

More gers set in stunning scenery. Mongolia really blew our fuses...

genghistaute.JPG

You'ld be forgiven for thinking there was a bit of a Genghis Khan motif about UB. "Come on!!! I'll take on the lot of ye!!" etc

The imposing example of Soviet architecture that is Sukhbaatar Square. Designed with the Red Army in mind...
