    Views[3640] Views[728] Views[739] Having to say goodbye to my favourite little dude Bodhi. Views[1192] Laurina snacking as we travel in cheap luxury out of Mongolia. Views[772]
     
    Nellie waking up from under the frost to devour a bowl of millet. Views[872] Mum and her two remaining pups doing their best to avoid insanely low temperatures. Views[586] One of the two puppies who didn't have to 'find a new home'. Views[600] Laurina 'proudly' showing off her new book bag that cost a purse shattering $2.70 Views[631] Not really a practical souvenir but Laurina wanted the little guy anyway. Views[595]
     
    Laurina roughing the cold outside our ger long enough for me to take a photo. Views[678] The devastation wrought upon the coal shed thanks to a dodgy light switch. Views[659] A image from my magical camera that takes photos of what is most commonly on my mind. Views[737] Our van broken down in an ocean of whiteness.

    The old capital of Kharkhorin basking in the freezing sunshine. Views[1166] The main attraction in Kharkhorin, the awe-inspiring phallis rock. Views[1291] Laurina braving the chill on one of our many wee breaks. Too cold for me to bother finding the necessary equipment. Views[873] Sunrise over another tantalising but ultimately temporary snowy field. Views[714] Rugged up and ready to face another action packed day. Views[764]
     
    Giving the cafe a much needed facelift with paint so thick it was like marmalade. Views[785] Laurina loving every minute of her usefulness, not. Views[784] Whipping up some semolina halava.

    Views[592] All the puppies lining up for some free food! Views[853] Mum and her pups sitting in the sun by our ger door. Views[794] The 10 year old dog we found chained to the fence and covered in frost. We feed her and walk her every day. Views[845] What can you say but AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW! Views[813]
     
    Sometimes a picture doesn't tell any story as no image can capture the true hideous flavour of this abomination. Views[882] I really need to use photoshop to give us suntans. Views[875] Fake plastic palms trees in the main street really make me feel like I am in sunny Brisbane, except for the fact that I am freezing my nuggets off. Views[783] The cafe shop front from the main road in Ulaan Bataar. Views[958] The babies house cook showing how to infuse Mongolian dumplings with snot. Views[1078]

We call this dish marble bench sauce. Views[741]
     
    Our first home cooked meal, a stir fry full of vegies and no refined starch in sight. Views[788] A picture tells a thousand words and a close-up would tell a story no one would want to hear. Views[882] Laurina working away with the wonderful new Furi knives as we cook food for the 30 or so younger orphans. Views[961] Home haircut Mongolian style. And yes, I am actually that white. Views[4817] The rickety fences of the alleyway leading down to the orphanage. Views[982]
