Mission Complete
by Tom Glenister on 24 Jul 2008 at 04:24 Well, we've made it.....We arrived in Ulaan Bataar this morning amidst great scenes of jubilation as locals swarmed the streets to wave banners and welcome us.. Well, almost .
We've checked into a couple of deluxe suites in a posh hotel and are looking forward to the first wash in over a week followed by several icey cold beers.
The Pajero is still going strong we are pleased to add. Albeit with a few scrapes, some new tyres, not a great deal of suspension and some very dodgy screeching noises that seem to go away when we shut the windows and turn the music up...We'll be sad to see it go actually. Well, a bit when we regain the feeling in our arse cheeks.
Obviously, travelling an average of 12-14 hours a day over non existant roads has left us all a little weary but not a cross word has been said between us.... Hang on, better dash as Toby the Tw%t is moaning again...
Thanks to all who have sponsored and supported us. Looking forward to catching up when we get back.. Special thanks also to the Pink ladies for helping to keep us fed, watered and entertained. "To my left, one...."
To summararize Mongolia:

Scenery: Stunning
Rocks: A plenty (mostly on the "roads")
