Hi readers!
I would say good morning after that last
blogpost but that would be a little bit weird since a lot has happened since
than.
We woke up in our ger and I must say
that it was a really nice experience. You should definitely try it one time!
One thing is certain, you would never be cold since it is heated by a stove
standing in the center of the ger.
After a good night of sleep and a calm
morning we packed our stuff to continue our wonderful journey with a Russian
Minibus. We saw incredible views with sand dunes, canyons, gorges, colorful
landscape with incredible shaped sandstone mountains on the way, a sky like a painting…
It was the paradise for those who enjoy nature.
Than we continued our trip to Uliastay.
I should mention that we had a fantastic driver who brought us everywhere. In
Mongolia a road is not a road, it's eight hours driving a day from bumpy to
extreme!
We found out that Uliastay was the
hometown of our driver and he invited us to meet his friends. OMG where did we
get ourselves in to?! We met his friends, ate 4 to 5 times a day sheep or goat,
combined with some wodka. A one of a kind experience! We also saw a special way
of slaughtering an animal without loosing a drop of blood.
It was awesome to see how people live over there, however I wouldn’t be able to live that way.
It's impossible to write down everything
that we experienced, there are so many. Mongolia is a friendly free and
beautiful country, ideal for camping and seeing a lot of pray birds, especially
eagles. The country is huge and the landscape endless. It was just
unforgettable, not to mention the food, we will never forget how many sheep’s
and goats we ate. They were nice but I’ll be glad when I can order something in
a restaurant on our next stop.
We had such a
great time but now it’s time to go.
North Korea, BE PREPARED because we are coming!!
