We’re back from a five-night trek in the Mongolian wilderness. We have a bunch of photos and will post detailed descriptions upon our return to better, faster internet.
Today when we returned to Ulaanbaatar the streets were roaming with military! There was a riot last night and some government buildings where burned and looted. People are upset over the outcome of Sunday’s parliamentary elections. There’s a state of emergency and curfew in effect. The post office and bank across the street from us is chained shut. Good thing our plane to Irkutsk leaves before the curfew time.
Glad to hear you ” trekkers ” made it back safely , now get the ” H ” out of Mongolia and on to the Russian Taiga ! .. can’t wait for the pics … T & J
Fleeing riots and flying to Russia sounds like going from the frying pan into the fire!
