Mongolia Piccies

The drivers liked to play music constantly, which wouldn't be too bad if they'd had more than one tape. The van that became known as "The Passion Wagon" had a particularly bad tape that included Boney M and other "classics" of the early 80s. Sharon seemed to like it though, and spent most of the 3 week trip singing "Hands up, baby hands up"...
















Craig at the ruins of Genghis Khan's capital, Karakorum. Genghis and turtles - Craig was in heaven!
















There were so many birds of prey it was incredible. It still took Sharon about 300 attempts to get a decent picture though!
















Playing cards with the drivers. Teaching them was fun, as they didn't speak any English at all. The second one from the right was a real cheat!
















Sharon in the Gobi Desert. It took us about 45 minutes and a lot of effort to climb that sand dune, and Sharon was struggling to find the energy to smile!
















We woke up one morning with the roof of our tent collapsing under the weight of the snow outside. We went out for a walk, and then had a mini-snowball fight, before spending the next 7 hours desperately trying to dry our feet!
