Ulaanbaatar

I landed in Ulaanbaatar in the evening just before sunset.

If you had told me years ago that I’d visit Mongolia before ever setting foot in Italy or Spain, I would have laughed at such nonsense. And yet here I am and that’s the reality of it. I considered venturing into the heart of UB, as the locals call it, but thought better of it. My guide will meet me in the lobby here at the Ibis Styles Polaris at 4:30 tomorrow morning to catch my six o’clock flight to the Gobi. Best get to bed early.

I imagine internet connectivity will be hard to come by for a bit. So I likely won’t be updating the diary for a bit. But I’m sure I’ll have a lot to say about my coming adventure in the land of Ghengis Khan.
