1/10/12 Together again in England. Preparing for our biggest adventure yet.

1/6/12 A final fix of dulce de leche before leaving South America. It is now summer in England, right?

1/5/12 We're sad to leave our friends in Buenos Aires but we're itching to put our backpacks on and head off into the wilds.

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

The name alone lends it an improbably exotic frontier feel and Ulaanbaatar is undoubtedly a wild place. It was our base when not out in the sticks so we got to know the tiny city well - especially the cafes serving cake rather than mutton.

The Bogd Khan's Winter Palace and other hidden gems made it well worth braving the cold, the street rogues and the gaping holes in the pavement.
