Treat in Terelj

Terelj is about a hour out of Ulaan bataar and we journey there last week to show some colleagues what the place looked like and that mongolia wasn't all boring UB.

this is typical of the countryside around terelj

 The scenery remained magnificent, even though it is getting more and more built up.

We eneded up at the 5 star Terelj resort, which was a shock- to see a place this nice inside and out in the middle of nowhere... its one and a half hours out of UB, inside the  Gorkhi-Terelj National Park.


My favourite Russian President was there

and the desserts we had to reward ourselves for the trip were also delightful.

profiteroles with real heavy fresh cream inside

and apple khuurshuur (similar to a McDonalds apple pie, or an apple cuffy puff)... the gelato was superb too
