UB to the Russian Border
Ride out of UB to the Russian border, great ride all tarmac on a warm sunny day. Stopped of at one of the usual shops/café on the way and met this great Mongolian family the "mum" kept hiding from the camera while trying to straighten her hair, it's funny how human beings no matter how their circumstances and experiences differ still share the same basic feelings. When we finally got camped this huge electrical storm arrived very nearly blew down "The Hilton" (as my new tent has been nicknamed) it wouldn't have been too bad if not for the fact the storm continued most of the night making sleep very difficult - this wild camping business is hard work. Woke up in the morning to find the inside of the sleeping compartment of the tent covered in fine sand didn't allow for the fact that the wind had whipped up the sand we were camped on and blown it straight through the meshes of the doors, so I've now got sand in every orifice oh joy
