More trains and on to China
Mongolia was pretty cool to visit. Staying in a Ger camp made for nice
relaxing night. Went off horse ride for a couple of hours and then another
the next day after the night in the Ger. Ger's make for a nice warm place
to stay the night.
After headiing back to the Mongolian capital for a night, was on to more
trains. Then time a 30 hours on to Beijing. Sleeper trains do make for a
fun way to travel. Although a bit tight on space.
Beijing is like many monden Metropolis'. Getting around is pretty easy,
taxis everywhere. The traffic is interesting for crossing. Much like
Vietnam, walk across and hope the cars dodge you. Was surprised how clean the city is. Prob cleaner than central Wellington.

Was a little disappointed didn't get to see Mao, was closed for revations.
Seeing part of the Great Wall was amazing. Not to many on the part I went
to. Got quite a lot of photos of it. Get up to it was a quite serious
climb from the parking area. About 30-45min of stairs on 35c.
The plus side of Beijing is the best Beijing duck I've had anywhere. Might
have to have some more before I leave.
