Made it to Choibalsan

Sorry not to have been in contact and Craig tells me I've only got 5 mins.  Internet access has been difficult to get but down here we have it in our room.  Everything went well in Ulaanbaatar.  Uncle Howard's board member met us and took us to the community centre for the night.  The next day we caught the overnight train to Edernet - 12 hours of rocking & rolling.  Badmaa met us and it was a thrill to spend time with him and get to know Ulzii & Pearl.  Erdernet is a lovely city set amongst hills.

Yesterday we arrived back in UB on the overnight train - we happened to be in the same carriage as the staff who partied inbetween stations - so noisy plus the very heavy Mongolian snorer next door.

We spent a few hours in UB before flying down here.  We had a pretty rough flight in a small SAAB.  There'd been alot of rain and Boldoo was unsure as to whether we would be coming.  As there's only 3 of these flights a week it would have been a hassle. 

Have to fly, will send more later.
