I'm so happy to be here in Ulaanbaatar for our holidays. I'm having a fantastic time and just love this part of Mongolia. Bold and I are staying at the Chinggis hotel. At the moment we are having a cup of hot milk tea and enjoying spectacular view of the city.
The weather is cold, and perfect for skiing. The five mountains around the city are covered in snow. The famous Sukhbaatar's square is stunning. We spend most of our days walking around the city and watching museums with our new friends.
I had always dreamed about going to Hawaii. It was the evening of April 1st, 2003 when my husband called me from his work and told me that we are going to Hawaii for one week in our holidays next month. I couldn’t believe my ears what I just heard. I asked him again if he is not making it up, but he said he already purchased tickets online and made plans. On 10th May we departed Maryland and headed towards our first destination, The Big Island of Hawaii. As soon as we reached there after a long journey, I was stunned by the beautiful scenic views that I only saw in pictures. I was totally lost in the scenic views that I forgot to blink my eyes. We stayed in the 5-star hotel in front of the beach. Next day we hired a helicopter for a trip to see volcano. It was simply amazing. We stayed in The Big Island for 4 days, and then we went to the island of Maui for 4 days. We did so many activities which included Jet Ski, Scuba diving, Parasailing etc. We also watched the sunrise of Kalekala’s summit, it was very romantic. At last one of the best things we did in Hawaii was to drive on the Hana Highway. It was the most amazing and spectacular experience of my life that I was stunned by God’s creation of a heaven-like place on earth. This highway has 600-plus turns, 50 one-lane bridges and breathtaking views that alternate between mountain streams and soaring sea cliffs, the Hana Highway is less a roadway than an event in itself. Our journey ended on 18th of May. On our way back we traveled by plane again. During the trip I thought, ‘Those days were amazing and unforgettable, I wished if I had more days to spend over there’.
My holiday was exciting and full of joy. I enjoyed it immensely. I am looking forward to going there again soon.
Mongolians really love the outdoors. They are very friendly and kind of us. I think they are relly good-looking. Most of them tall, with black hair and dark eyes.
Mongolian traditional food is very delicious. Mongolians like eating buuz, khuushuur and dairy products. I just love eating dairy products, includes aaruul, tarag and airag.
Next week we’re going to Terelj. We can’t wait to visit the Terelj special rocks. Bold is not so keen, but I’m looking forward to it. We leaving from Mongolia next Friday.
I think you should come here next year. I’m sure you would love it!
See you soon
