We are now in Russia

Hi everyone, we are now in russia after 2 nights on the train. Mongolia was spectacular, we had a amazing time. We stayed in a ger which is one of those huts. They were very warm, they had a fire in the middle and during the night a mongolian lady stoked our fire 3 times a night. She would just drop a whole plastic bag of coal including the bag. The coldest it got was -28. Was very very cold. We went and saw a lady at her village and were welcomed in to see her ger home and tried some of her fermented milk and cheese. Not nice! Mongolia was like being on a cowboy movie set.

We arrived yesterday morning into russia. We are staying in Siberia next to lake baikal. It doesnt get light here till 10am very strange. Yesterday we went for a walk along the lake the edges were frezzing. We walked up to a chair lift and the view was spectacular was like looking at a painting. The photos really dont do it justice at all. Today we are dog sleeding, snow mobiling and going to a blacksmith to make something.
