Walking on Water

We finally enjoyed the experience of walking on the Tuul river today after contemplating the thought for the past month-then it was a beautiful sight as it was covered in snow.  I think this weekend was our last opportunity as the river is rapidly melting and the surface is more like a slushie!  Although I'm not quite as heavy as a car, I still had fears of breaking through the ice so was not as brave as the locals who are still happily driving onto it!! and sliding their young children along it.

The Tuul river originates from the Khentii Mountains in northern Mongolia and runs through the southern part of UB and is approximately 704km long. It's a major tributary of the Orkhon river, the largest river in Mongolia. It's typically frozen over for nearly 5 months of the year! 
It's also home to an endangered species of Sturgeon.
