well guys we made it 2 novosibirsk. (Novosibirsk, Russia) *UPDATED*

well guys we made it 2 novosibirsk...just. The train was a nightmare. Felt like outsiders 4 most of the journey but accepted after a while. Now on the train 2 irkutsk which should take about 30 hours. Hopeful of being in UB on tuesday night/weds mornin.will update soon x

*** UPDATE ***

WE MADE IT!!!! sat in an internet cafe in Ulan Bataar 'city centre'. Not seen much yet only our first morning here after arriving at 6am via train. Going to go find where the orphanage is and speak to the guys from our charity, see what we can get sorted. The rest of our convoy should be here in a few days as long as their car holds up to the terrain. Some really beautiful scenery out here but i don't think the cars will appreciate it as much! Found our selves a nice little hostel to stay in, so expensive here.. $3 ( one pound fifty ) for B&B!!! that means we can stay here for a week for a total cost of $21!!! haha it's sooo funny how cheap it is. not much money left now but hopefully if food is as cheap as our room we should be ok. once i find a uk plug adaptor i will charge the laptop and bring it down here to update all our photos. some amazing shots of Siberia aswell in the mountains.

well have to shoot my time is running out. phones are only switched on briefly now to save battery but we will make a few calls once we get sorted. Hope all is well back home, not too long and we will be making our way back.

Scott and Mark.
