Travels in Mongolia – in Chinggis Khaan’s Footsteps
Well we flew in to his airport in Ulaanbaator anyway (Last year I flew in to the Mother Teresa International Airport in Tirana in Albania). Maureen and I spent two weeks in Mongolia in August, riding in old Russian jeeps and flying in old Russian helicopters, staying in gers (the correct Mongolian term for a yurt), climbing sand dunes, visiting monasteries, riding camels and even watching a team of Canadian and Mongolian palaeontologists uncover a dinosaur. 
Mongolia is where camels meet reindeers, you find reindeers in the north (where you get the feeling the forest sweep on all the way through Siberia) while in the south you get camels, transport of choice in the Gobi Desert.
