Hey Dad,

Good to hear you're well, although it sounds as if you've had some challenging days!

Always remember that the challenging days also make up a big part of the journey...In saying that though I hope there are more good days from now on :-)

Glad you found somewhere for a haircut!!

Lots of love,

Megs xxoo

Sounds like the journey continues to be a blast. Lucky man. glad all the falls have been ones you walk away from.I am tecon challenged....

Cheers have fun ... keep taking care x

Hi Ian, What a great read for us and adventure for you(s). Khovd is an area famous for watermelons, no wonder the riding was a bit tricky. Franz

Hi Oji Khan,

Had your 2 most favourite women over for dinner tonight..... Lizzy and your ma. We had a lovely time snuggling up with the cat by the fire and chatting. It was freezing today..... Mum is really well, she is such a sweetie! We enjoyed some homemade lasagne that Alanah made with her nonna [ jealous!!]

Loved your last entry - sounds amazing! Hope you are taking lots of pics. Slow down and enjoy the moment! Don't rush - especially Mongolia.

Hi Dad,

Love the latest update. Sounds awesome...am so jealous!

All good here at home. Nana is good, spent the day with her on Wednesday with Christine and Annabelle. Christine took her to Dr's then hairdresser and we all had lunch in town together. Think she is getting plenty of vistors and I told her all about your trip (even though she won't remember!!!).

Keep having an awesome time. Enjoy every second because you'll be home before you know it :-)

Be safe.

Lots of love and hugs,
