Yekaterinburg, Russia
So in Moscow we were getting our Mongolian visas, and when we ordered them we chose the cheapest option of five days, conveniently forgetting that this wouldn't include weekends. So we were somewhat stranded in Moscow for a week. Though in retrospect I think this was actually a wise move.
We had a really nice time there, and though the first two days were wet we were blessed with fantastic weather for the rest. So much so that one day I even topped up on my tan!...
