This morning when we woke up our friends had left and they had left us a gift. We got some wet wipes, candles and oat meal bars. Very useful on a trip like this though we have a hard time finding a shower and need snacks to eat on the road. That impressed us almost the same like the procession of Monks we were able to see in the nearby Monastery. Only a few years ago Monks started practicing there again - so the most members are still Children - Often seen guests in the nearby Candy-shop. Yes, i am whistling the melody too :P
At the moment we are sitting in our own ger (a little mongolian house that looks more like a tent), drinking wine and in the lack of electricity we have a few candles burning.
Today has been a day fully packed with stunning scenery. We have, or to be correct, our driver, have driven us through FORESTS deserts and green hills. The mongolian country side is spectacular. We have seen horses tumbling around in the grass playing, fantastic views over green hills that ends in the horizon and on several times along the trip we have said that life can be so much worse.
This is just as good as it can be.
When we finally reached our destination of the day we went straight down in the river for a cooling dip while the afternoon sun was shining.
Our new Guest, a boy called Lama, is a relative of the Family we visited yesterday. they wished him to join us because we will pass by his hometown in about 4 Days. Like a little Family. We try to tear down the language barrier with using the Language Chapter from the Lonely Planet and practicing some Mongolian Wrestling in the Sunset. At least Luke does. "This Guy is bloody good" he says. Well, he will participate the Nadaam-Festival in his Hometown, so he is supposed to be good. :D
