Easy...

You just keep going for about 5 hours in roughly that direction....

... you'll probably get somewhere!

Peace, after the storm

Floods in Erdenet

After a day of heavy raining, we were stuck for a few hours in Erdenet, northern Mongolia. The town was split in two by a river of mud with currents that could have taken our truck away!
This one being the only practicable road around, there was not much else to but to sit and wait..

It had been a long and hectic day of driving under the rain and after 20 days in the car everyone was feeling quite tired...





after some time, a truck takes a chance...

and off we go after him!

Dancing clouds

The Baikal Ghesthouse

No we're not going back to the Baikal, but northern Mongolia is quite close to the famous lake, hence the guesthouse name.

Just some lovely memories from probably the friendliest amongst the friendly.. It's in Murun on the road to Hovskol lake, go say hi for me if you stop by!




Chillin' by the pool..

..table!

At the marketplace, while women shop for groceries in recycled tank trucks, men chill out at the pool tables.

Above us only sky




Luck with a smile

Without this guy showing up with his boat just at the very moment of despair, we would have spent a night walking in the woods on the wrong side of lake Hovskol! Cheers mate ;-)
