Are We There Yet?
Well, we made it to Mongolia. It is a spectacular place, every mile there's a photo opportunity. It's slow going though. The roads, were they exist are appalling, were they don't exist we have to made our own.
On our first day in Mongolia we were greeted by a blizzard, it was so severe that we sought shelter untill it passed. Luckily, we meet two Belgium couples and a Brit in a Nissan Micra going the same way. We formed a convey and headed to our first target, Ogiliy. It took most of the day, but we got there. We had a pleasant evening in freezing cold weather and slept in a Ger.
The next morning was so different. The wind had dropped and the sun was shining. We and Nissan Micra left the Belgiuims and set off for Khovd. An entertaining drive across two mountain ranges and many lakes. Met people living at the mountain top who offered us Kazak Tea and shelter, marvellous!
We are about to set off for our next target, Altai, this will propably take two days and will require a night camping along the way.
I'll try and update asap.
