Just back from the Gobi and it rocked. Lots of adventures like the wheel falling off the van while doing 60, riding horses and camels and trekking up 300m sand dunes and trying to slide down on a polly bag (it was shite). Stayed with Mogolian families along the way in these funny round tents called Gers. It started fecking snowing on the 2nd day and we all had to stop and buy camel hair gloves, hats and socks...i'm not kidding. It went from 35 in Beijing to about 15 in UB, to -5 in the desert. Cool shots of snow in the desert and had a snowball fight as well!! Lots of reading, some cards, and lots of driving. We covered about 900KM in 7 days and that was with 1 full day of camel and dune climbing.

Going to have a long shower and a shave as I look like Duckering did when he did his Wild Man of Borneo impression. Bit of shopping and some pizza. Mutton and wierd Mongolian food for 7 days straight is enough for me!

Flight leaves tomorrow at 1 to Beijing then onto HK 2 hours later. One night in HK (need to find somewhere to stay as Tsangy has failed to come up with Bobby's details) then 10am flight to Singapore to meet Tracy and Kaitlyn. Going to be wierd seeing them both but saw loads of cute kids over last few weeks to get me back into the parenting vibe.

Hope everything is peachy with you guys and good to see that Scotland are actually doing well at footy for a change.
