Temple Courtyard

Back on the train again, a few more days yet to go.........soft sleeper thank goodness

Quite some wall this and a hell of a climb to get up here. Strange to see peasants selling "iced" coke at the top!!

 
 
A nice trip to the countryside in the highlands area where just very slightly less hot and quite beautiful scenery. Thankfully the odd small "bar" was to be found for a little light refreshment!

 

Anyone for a drink, the only way to get through a hot evening

 
 
 
 
You can't beat a long cool "Legendario" which we though to be the really very best 9 year old Cuban Rum, shame you can't get it in UK, but you can get it in Espana!

here is the text

The apartment kitchen as my brother-in-law prepares eveining meal, still very hot with no breeze!

 
We are really enjoying the weather and the local RUM!!!

 
 
 

 

This lovely weather makes for some great shots, but must change continents soon. The food here is quite awesome, especially the lobster which is the speciality of a chinese restaurant we found run by a guy who came here from China about 20 years ago. He is fluent in Spanish now but his english is shaky so my wife speaks to him in Mandarin.

 

Well it's a way to pass a really hot day isn't it?

Somewhere in Outer Mongolia, a station exists!

 
A very happy wife!!

Friendly dinner guest between my wife and I........NOT a "rude" sign in China, just means "victory or success".

Anyone for dried fish?
