Hi guys.
Here we are in mongolia. No photos at the moment as we have borrowed an iPad.
We've left the island and are now back in the land of proper loos. Although emergency loo roll is a must even in the more expensive bars.
The border crossing was pretty straight forward apart from it taking eight hours!!! I have no idea why?
Our last day in Russia was spent in Irkutsk. We travelled back on a coach with a nice crowd of people, including our friends from Russia and Romania. When we arrived in Irkutsk they suggested trying some food in the market. Luckily with a Russian speaker we ended up with some nice meat dumplings and a sort of pastie and chips.
Then we got on the train at about 10pm. The next day we spent at the border.
We arrived this morning at about 6am local time. It took us a while to go through the showers and head out into town. We visited the center square and the national history museum, because it had some great dinosaur skeletons, unfortunately no foto!!!
It's weird being stared at as the oddity and we got followed by a pick pocket for a while but he got bored as we had clocked him, also claire's had her bum slapped twice by weird old men.
The only complaint so far is that hp7 isn't out at the movies yet. I think we'll have to wait til Beijing.
Hope everyone is well
Team P

Mum R I literally laughed out loud when I read the bottom slapping bit!! How funny! What a great time you are having and the photo you have on this message gives us an idea of what last week was like. wow!
Steve Taylor It must be comforting for Claire to realize that the RC faith is alive and kicking in Mongolia! It is how they have been reared! Just make sure she doesn't offer the other cheek!
