Due to a lack of internet facilities and epic train journeys, alas we have neglected our blog...rest assured, we are still alive.
Mongolia, as Hayley said below, is difficult to sum up in words, and maybe even in pictures. How one can convey a 360 degree emptiness from a single picture is beyond me, and certainly beyond our current capabilities. Lucky folks back in the UK will be subjected to countless photos of hills & goats.
We've been in Russia for about a week now. Our itinerary has taken something of a beating, and we'll probably be back home much sooner than we planned...
So far, the image of Russia as a grey labyrinth of uncompromising slabs populated by uncooperative grumpy people has proved erroneous. We've experienced the legendary Russian hospitality (which I hadn't heard of until reading Lonely Planet Russia) in unbelievable quantities. Today, we are still reeling from one of the most memorable experiences of the whole trip, but, off the cuff as this entry is, I can't really do it justice without sitting down first and thinking about what to write...stay tuned for an upcoming tale of homelessness, emotional turmoil, shrieking paranoia and industrial pharmaceuticals...
