Gobi Desert sand...
Sometimes the trains were airconditioned, but the trip between China and Mongolia was not! This was when we went through the Gobi Desert. Unfortunately much of this was during the night and as we had left our cabin window open to get fresh air, we awoke to find ourselves covered in sand! The train of course suffered the same fate...
At our first stop in Mongolia the conductors got out and washed the carriage windows. We were intrigued to see one such lady still in her PJ's attending to this task!! OOPS her boss would not be happy that she had slept in...

She could always get a job at our place!
Next time you will know to keep the windows closed. I am sure Dad would have enjoyed getting out there with his Karcher (sp?)... High powered hose!
Too true! But what I did forget - the windows were washed at this stop BUT in Ulaanbatar (the capital of Mongolia) the whole train was washed! Imagine that happening in Australia!
