Day 12: Siberia at last! Never expected to say I was happy to be in Siberia

Asphalt at Last!
We filed slowly through the border between Mongolia and Russia. The point is newly opened and the last thing they expected was to see 130 odd cars lined up waiting to go thru, they get on the average 6 cars a day, not 10 an hour! Siberia was a pleasant surprise, green pastures vs sandy steppes, asphalt vs sandy nothing roads, mountains and rivers and beautiful trees vs barren stretches of desert without even a shrub for days not hours. Oh I never knew how much I loved asphalt, boy did I miss it!
