Ider River
SAVE PLACE
There aren't that many rivers in Mongolia but for some odd
reason, every one of the handful of bridges we came across were crooked and in
all the wrong directions. For some other odd reason, although every bridge was
wide enough for us to drive over, we had to cross on foot to get the other
side. We couldn't help but laugh under the circumstances! All in a week's journey
across the Mongolia steppes!
The gateway to the fjords
Bergen is Norway's
second largest city, and lies clambering up the mountain sides, overlooking the
