Just when you think you're done...

A word to the wise: If you bring a car into a country, have documentation about that when you leave the country, even (especially!) if the car isn't leaving the country with you. This was something I was wondering about a bit when I turned over all of the car-related paperwork to Go Help. I should have wondered a bit more and at least gotten copies of everything, just to be sure.

The train from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing stops at a little town called Zamyn Uud just before crossing the border. A border patrol agent comes along the train and picks up everyone's passports, and a customs agent comes along and picks up everyone's customs declarations.  read more »

We have arrived in Ulanbaataar and will shortly hand Martha the ambulance over to GoHelp, who carry out charity work in Mongolia. Martha has handled the journey excellently and, after a clean, will be ready for service. GoHelp will be making arrangements for Martha's new home.

Our poor van has taken a pounding today. The roads are full of potholes. A Canadian motorcyclist from edmonton camped with us last night, lovely guy. He might camp with us again tonight- we shared our hot food so he's keen to find us again! The temp has dropped a lot today, into woolly hats!

we're now taking the middle road to ulaanbaatar, via Tosontsengel and Tsetserleg. The scenery is amazing, but the roads are hard.

The train has gone. Next one isn't until Sunday. Going to try to catch a bus or car to Beijing instead. Quincy, can you contact Gumbo and tell him I've been delayed and to not expect me? Thanks
