We made it to Ulaan Baatar!!! After the last post it took another 2 days to reach the capital. No problems with the van along the way and we spent our last night camping in Mongolia under a full moon…ahhhh.
Now we’re in the capital staying in a great hostel [The Golden Gobi for anyone coming this way] while we wait for our train to Beijing which we’re taking tomorrow. Beds are expensive while the Olympics are still on but we’ll head on after a couple of days to Shanghai. From there around the country, then Seoul to visit our friend, Paul, Japan and then Perth to Larry’s sister Karen and family!!
For now its ’see ya’ from Mairead and Larry on the Mongolia Rally. We made it and raised a fantastic E3,000 for two great charities with all your help.
Thanks everyone and see you soon!!!
Mairead and Larry

It all sounds absolutely amazing! Fair play to ye and the liteace liteace there in one/three piece(s):-)
As the rest of the lads were already saying Siobhan and Stephen’s wedding was amazing, she really looked so beautiful.
I’m starting college in a week, eek!
Enjoy yourselves in Beijing, and say hello to Poolio for me.

That was supposed to say for ‘getting there in one piece’. I must learn how to construct sentences before I write my first essay.
