Arrived safely in Ulaanbaatar - flights went without a hitch which was great. UB is built up in the centre and on the outskirts are houses with Gers in the compounds.

Weather reminds me of home at the moment as it was raining this morning & is now dry but cool. I travel by jeep later today to the Gobi desert which will be a long & bumpy ride. Am sure it will be much warmer there!!
