Travel: Mongolia

Just three weeks here, but loads of memories. It was December, so minus-38C nights and minus-23C days is certainly the strongest memory of all, but there was definitely more to remember about the place than just that. Such as some after-basketball vodka drinking and singing. And X'mas at the guesthouse with the really nice family who ran the place. Then there was our trip to the countryside were we stayed in a traditional Mongolian "ger" (yurt), which involved trying to relieve ourselves - no outhouse, just a hole in the ground - without freezing any vital parts.

Merry X'mas From Mongolia (Land of Yummy Mutton Butter Tea)

Three weeks of winter fun in Mongolia, including a stay in a traditional ger in the countryside, a wonderful X'mas, a horseback ride up a small mountain on horses that would rather be doing something else, and even a couple of days of basketball.
