The next morning it was only Sara, Daniel, Lorna and myself who were due to stay another night at the ger camp, and they wanted to return to UB. We managed to arrange this but the family insisted we trundle around the park on the tiniest scraggly horses in the world. The park was beautiful though, and we’d had an enjoyable day or so looking at the magnificent beauty of the Mongolian countryside. We rode back into town in the family’s Jeep and I did nothing much for the rest of my time in UB. I readied myself for the 7th train to my 9th country.

The bridges between them weave my life together here in Tokyo.
Below are photos mostly from Japan and my overland journey from Bristol to Tokyo, plane free. I don't update them that often.
