As Mongolians are great travelers themselves, they are always interested in where you are going and where you have been…..except for the little boy….who just wants to go home!
Those of you who are interested in how merino underwear holds up after a year of constant use can zoom in to find out. Otherwise I strongly advise you not to.
Navigation here isn’t too difficult…but it pays to check with the locals! This shepherd gave us some Mongolian tea (which he keeps tucked under his del), we gave him some sweets.
In western Mongolia we didn’t meet much traffic [less than 20 “vehicles “ a day ]…all locals, and mostly on Chinese motorbikes. Two days in a row we stopped to fix punctures that weren’t ours. These two used one of our bike patches , and as they’d also run out of petrol, they got some of our stove fuel as well. ! Fun.!
Even in the high desert it’s the rainy season somewhere….but we managed to outrun [ha ha ],or outmaneuver thunderstorms for 8 days until they got us .Mongolia is all about off-road and big skies…the sky gods live here.
