A rather bumpy flight all told, but views over Russian Steppes, Mongolia were spectacular from above Ying had fish rice, I had beef rice, not sure I could tell the difference! Took minutes to go through health quarantine, (which just meant walking through a gate?) customs, bag collection and out we went Took first BYD …

We’ve had many happy months planning our trip with Sally and Gary Unfortunately circumstances conspired against us and thwarted their participation at the last minute and they quite rightly bailed out a few days before departure This led to an epic Ying vs Call Centre battle getting our tickets and luggage organised, Ying won!!!
