Asia Tour 2026 - Day 25/25 - 3rd September - Going Home

Hotel Corridor We had ordered a taxi for 05:30, it was still dark and I was incredibly hungover. Luckily I had pre-packed everything the day before and put the last few items in my hand luggage. The receptionist had two little breakfast packages for us too. Our bird It was dark for most of the drive, we exited the city and drove across the undulating steppes to the airport. When we arrived at the airport the sun was just rising. For some reason our Turkish Airlines flight wit

Asia Tour 2026 - Day 24/25 - 2nd September - Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - City 15/15 - Country 9/9
