The Trans-Mongolian Express!

We had ticket's pre-arranged, and were excited to be finally boarding the famous Trans-Mongolian Express which would take us across China to Ulaam Bater, the capital of Mongolia. Early Tuesday morning, we gathered at our hotel and then made our way to the train station across the street.Each compartment on the train had four bunks, so it developed a "lived in" look very quickly. We got a lovely surprise when we went for our breakfast the next morning. The Chinese dining car had been replaced overnight with a Mongolian one, and it was the most ornate train car we'd ever seen. And the food was good too!
