We left the warmth and cheap accommodations of the Xin Tian Hotel and stepped out into an invigorating -7 Degree Celcius morning. For our Fahrenheit Friends, not yet acquainted with the metric system that equates to “bloody cold”.
In the spirit of true tightarse-edness, we decided to walk the 5 or so kilometers to the border.
On the way we stopped in at the Sino truck dealership to peruse the latest offerings in Chinese farm equipment.
Sinotruck!
We met crushing disappointment at the zodiac park. Some muppet had nicked Tanya’s statue!
Sadness at the Zodiac park
Finally we were in sight of the border, not sure if we were close to the pot of gold, or if China is trying to present a “gay friendly” vibe to their brothers and sisters over the border in Mongolia. Whatever…….the rainbow was a nice touch.
All this for an exit stamp!
We walked the remaining couple of hundred metres to the border, only to find out that you cannot cross on foot. Has our golden run of champagne tightarse-ness come to an end!
