Ger camp

We had a lovely day yesterday. We headed out to the national park where we spent the night in a ger and paid a visit to a nomad family. The scenery was beautiful and very unlike what I imagined Mongolia to be like. All the trees had turned a lovely shade of yellow and we took a two hour hike out to a monastery in the middle of nowhere.

Simon got to see lots of yaks so he was very happy, though he didn't end up purchasing one, thank goodness.

We also had the opportunity to do some archery. The penguins were being lippy so I added them to the archery target. Even so, they evaded the arrows of even the pro Mongolian fella we had with us. Also unfortunately, we don't appear to be able to upload photos in this place. They will follow when technology permits...
