Before we write something about today, there must be a little chapter about the mongolian food. We had this encounter for the last days and we had to realize that there is actually more then soup with potatoes, meat, carrots and cabbage - But they dont care :D They rather stay with their tasteless rural food than taking our fancy pasta offer. wired. but finally we found our favourite dish: Fish paistry! Its made of paistry and fish (NO WAY) and comes pan-fried. Mjummy.
Today we made it to the volcano. it seemes to be a very popular spot around here, then a lot of tourists, most of them came by horses, were climbing up the rocky path to the crater. when we where up there i finally realized how much influence that vulcano took on the environment and how beautiful the black lavafield flows trough the valley, overgrown with trees and farns. The Buddhist and Shamans-Followers appreciate that by building a lot of ovoos on it. We also have to mention that we had a great time with our danish fellows. we found out that hendrik works for the danish travel company Dawa mentioned having a deal with UB Guesthouse. What a coincidence again. He was checking out the quality of the UB Guesthouse as an tour operator.
Later on i was climbing the hill behind our Ger, took some great shots and listened to sigur ros. i should do this more often. but the tight schedule of our tour let me almost no time. On my way down ive met some travelers which i saw on the peak of the vulcano earlier the day. so we started drinkin Vodka (what a good reason :P) When i came out of their ger ive found Chladat totally embarrassed looking for me. I was in another gear camp and they came searching me!!! Everybody was looking for me even if emma knew where i was. so i have a new nickname now: Swiss guy!!! Where is the Swiss guy? Haha, calm down dudes, i just went for a walk.
The Mongolians really look good for the foreigners here. you cant get lost. and if you do, they turn around every stone, use every connection they have to bring you back. even if they dont have to, because you travel independent. thats impressive. also no rip-offs like in south east asia for example... here is the heart and survival on first position, then comes the money.
