This morning we visited the oldest and most important Buddhist temple in UB which was interesting, we saw the 26 metre high Buddha which prior to the war was melted down for bullets and post war was rebuilt, they are currently in the process of building a Buddha that is 56 metres tall....that's taller than the statue of liberty!!!!!! Due to be finished in 2014...we headed back and braved the Black Market where you could buy absolutely anything that you wanted, Aimee and I of course bought Mongolian boots which we have fallen in love with. When we made our way back we made a last minute shopping dash for souvenirs the all important cold and flu meds which we all seem to need now and tried to exchange our last Togriks back.....a huge wad of notes amounted to AUD $3.00 not worth the effort then I guess.
We had dinner and left for the station......a very sad moment saying goodbye to our beautiful Aagy :( I really hope one day we will get to see her again......we already miss you Aagy!!!!!!!!!

We settled in to be rocked to sleep by the clickety clack of the Trans-siberian to Ulan Ude Russia.
On to Russia
