Playing cards in a Ger..

So this has been my home for the last two nights




It's been a chilled out couple of days but not exactly activity filled...

Mongolia is great, the Golden Gobi hostel has a real traveller vibe, with everyone sat around having a drink, playing or listening to some music. Makes a real change from Russia.

So far before the trip I had a good explore of Ulaanbaator visiting the only Buddhist monastery to survive the 1930 soviet cull. It was worth seeing for it's 26 meter Buddha statue alone!

That evening I got up at 3.45 to watch the Spurs v Inter game, which was well worth it!! What a amazing result!!!

So far the trip has not been great, that said we played a lot of shithead last night.. I pretty much maintained my winning streak!!

Hopefully by the time I can post this we will have actually done some horse riding....

So to update, in the end we got a grand total of 1.5 hours of our 4 hours horse riding. Oh well, the place is stunning though! This is the view taking this morning after I climbed up tot the top of a nearby rock formation:




Tonight we're planning on a night out at the only major club in Ulaanbaator. Should be fun...

JT out
