Holiday in Asia

In the end of March until the end of April I went with my family on a long nice holiday to Asia. First I traveled from Dublin to Malmo via London, where my parents and my brother met up with me. The day after we flew up to Stockholm where we spent the night at my sister's place. From Stockholm we took the ferry over to Helsinki and then train to Moscow. From Moscow we traveled on the Trans-Mongolian to Ulan Bator were we spent a week (in the city and out in the Terelj National Park in a Ger camp). After Mongolia we went to China (first Beijing and then the Yunnan province in the south) and finally Tibet.
Below you can see some of the pictures that my brother Martin took with his mobile phone. Not the best quality, but hey... ;)

It was cold, windy and quite dramatic.

We were high up. The mountains around us being at around 7000 m.

Something different than the Alps.
