Greetings from the steppe and a tour of a Mongolian ger!
A short stop at the very holy Alaverdi Monastery, dating back to the 6th century. Rahter beautiful and peaceful, the monastery also features a wine cellar — common for religious buildings all across Georgia. The country is known to have invented wine making after all.
Hanging out on the train as we journey from Wuhan to Chengdu. We purchased “hard sleep” births, which are equivalent to Russia’s third class, “platskart.”
Hands down our favorite day in Myanmar — there is something very magical about Hpa-an countryside. Or maybe it was all in the timing — who knows. But we wished we could’ve spent longer.
Happy Valentines day from India’s most romantic city — Udaipur. It is also one of the most famous, thanks to the fact that James Bond Octopussy was filmed here, and the Lake Palace run by the Taj Hotel Group is a world class luxury destination (maybe next time?)
Meeting up, for the third time on this RTW, with a friend that we initially met in Myanmar. One of the coolest aspect of this journey has been meeting and forming relationships with all sorts of amazing people around the world )
