Hello all
Sorry its been a while but we have been busy.
Since Yekaterinburg we have seen the ballet in Novosibirsk, had a Banya (a Russian sauna) in Listvyanka at Lake Baikal, taken a ski lift with views over the lake and snowy mountains beyond, spent 7 hours sitting at the border and we are now in Ulaan Bataar (the Capital of Mongolia) until tomorrow when we head to China.
Whilst in Mongolia, we've been out into the countryside on a 3 day, two night trek with two British girls and our 4x4 driver Jay. We've slept in gers (yurts as some people know them), falling asleep (sporadically) to the sounds of the wild - including camels, dogs and howling wolves. Met lots of travellers and nomadic locals including a Mongolian cowboy who took us horse riding through the vast landscape.
Vegetarian food is great (unlike expectations).
So are the toilets in the wild (not!).
Really looking forward to Beijing - hope we miss the madness of the 60 year celebrations. Will let you know in our next blog.
Nick and Jo

That sounds bloody great - especially the wolves bit. Puts our 'wild' camping to shame, though the practice was probably useful :)
