Well, we have been sitting in the car, driving. Driving and driving a little more. Sadly enough, we had to leave the beautiful lake Khövsgöl and our lovely host Dawa since we have this tight schedule.
8.30 in the morning I was up whatching the sunset over the lake and Luke slept (surprisingly enough...) when Dava came in to our gear with breakfast. Bread, home made butter, jam, fried eggs and tea. We enjoyed the breakfast, took some photos with the family and left.
We were "looking forward" to only five to six hours in the car, but when the five to six hours turned into eleven hours we were pretty tired and our motivation according to this hole trip/ adventure started to slowly fade away.
It is not only bumpy and boring to sit in the car, even though it is most of the time. We enjoy each others company, including our driver and our hitch hiker altough they dont know a word in english. Funny things seems to be happening on the road that that we can all laugh about.
For example, Luke borrowed our drivers lighter and lost it. He bought a new one and the driver placed it between the front seats in the car- right above the engine. Suddenly in the middle of nowhere there was an explosion. I can tell you that I really had some exercise for my stomach muscles afterwards.
When we finally arrived at the top of a beautiful Mongolian hill we sat the tent up (it is a good thing that I was a Scout when I was a kid since I seem to be McGyver in this company...) (thats no all correct - Luke) and cooked some dinner. While waiting for the pasta water to boil they practiced some hand stand and climbed a tree. I was the photographer.
The day ended in the tent with a bottle of whine listening to the rain outside.
Important note: Luke finished his first english book! Congrats to him. Now he only have 15 to goo if he wants too keep up with me... (EMMA!!! - Luke)
