Mandalgobi

Mandalgobi -as the name probably sugests- is the last town we saw before entering the "real Gobi"... homework, bikers and fashion victims are quite universal concepts!

Are we ever gonna make it to Mongolia??

...hope you had enough time to enjoy the Baikal!.. it's about time we move on again!
After a few uninteresting days in Ulaan Baatar mostly spent trying to form a group to go out into the majestic wilderness of Mongolia, it was time to hit the road again.. well, when i say the "road"...




and off we went into the Gobi....

Baikal #6

Housing on Olkhon island is pretty basic. Although 2005 was a leap forward as it brought electricity to the island for the first time!... But honestly, for the time i was there i didn't make too much use of it; life is around the stove!

It's funny to think that this dream like island was once for convicts sent to siberia as punishment.. although, while it appears as a dream island for a tourist like me coming in summer, the long siberian winters, cut from all form of civilisation would have been quite a punishment!..



Baikal #5

One morning as i went for a walk and a few photos, i came across this dead dog - or was it a wolf ?
The birds had already started to eat its insides and its heavy fur was falling, spread by the wind.


Baikal #4

Much bolder than it may seem, a young russian takes a quick foot bath in the freezing waters
