Ever get the feeling you've been abandoned in Mongolia?



When we left Irkutsk we were in the middle of a very long train. After a lengthy border control and several cabin searches (8 or more hours stood still in all) I got a chance to step off the train to find every other carriage had gone along with the train that pulled us!

(And yes that is the back end of a Mongolian ghost dog in the bottom left hand corner. He came to harass me whilst I took the picture. I couldn't do another because he wouldn't go away).

  1. Some times sitting in my bedroom reading your travells seems like such a sensible idea!
    Sounds like you are definately having a 'life experience' though - good on you - continue to experience life and have some fun doing so. Clare x

  2. Spooky - have you got out or are you still being haunted by the ghost dog?

  4. Great picture of the lake. Not too keen on the look of the ferry though.

    The sauna and rolling in the snow being beaten with pine twigs sounds a bit too masochistic for me! I like the sound of the dog sled thing. Seems like a lot of fun.

    Hope they don’t make you push the carriage for the next bit of the journey. Although it would keep you warm...
