Kyja and Fiona were in Mongolia and Beijing

















Trains trains trains trains! yay! This is the train from Hong Kong to Beijing. 24 hours of awesomeness and tea! (note the thermos.)








We felt sorry for the black kitten.














The sign says 'perilous hill. No climbing please.' The perilous hill continues to about 2 metres above my head.







Yert suburbs, and gandan monastery.





A sad old camel.








Prayer wheels: Way more efficient than anglican orisons.









The sign says 'rich club: we make the world better.' This small town didn't have much food. So we just drank beer and got the next train out.





















Yak baby and yak mother.





Gorge-ous. (ha. ha.)




These are the yerts of a family of yak herders a days drive outside of Ulaan Bataar.







This is an awesome baby in a bundle.




Potentially rabid dogs attacking Kyja. They only took a chunk out of her shirt.



Back in Beijing, and eating deep fried icecream, that looks different from deep fried chinese icecream in Australia. So it's true what they say eh.


On the other side of the wall from the mongols.


Some crazy tea with dry ice, at the beijing night markets.

I love the beautiful picture of the probably unethical tethering of horses against a stunning natural landscape.

And both you and kyja have awesome hair. This is possibly because I am no longer your primary hairdresser?
