We are back on the Mongolian countryside but this time in the Gobi desert.
Comparing to our first trip, we now have travel mates, jack, a english speaking driver and a chef, sunjen, who cooks three meals a day for us. Our travel mates is two guys from South Korea, I will probably need the whole week to learn and remember their names, and a spanish couple from Madrid.
On our way here we were talking about things you think you see when you are out walking in the desert. Fata Morgana or Mirage is it called. The most common thing is water. In Lukas case, I think he will see a fridge full of Coke or Red Bull, a power plug and a wireless network router...
We all stopped for lunch by some rocks. We took a lot of pictures of horses, climbed the rocks, drank some tea and then we continued our trip. At one time, we stopped for a short break, and found out that the whole area was full of schnittlauch (gräslök in swedish)! So even in an Desert Humans would find something to eat.
Around five we reached the destination of the day and we moved in to our Ger. Since there is only five beds in each Ger, me and Lukas are sharing one Ger and the others are sleeping in an other one. We are back to the simple life, which means, living in a Ger, using the nature as a toilet and no electricity.
The family has one little sheep which we cuddled with as soon as we saw it, it is definitely the cutest animal I have seen for a long time and we were all like some small kids at Christmas eve. Overwhelmed by happiness.
It feels good to be back on track again, although we have had some good days in UB. I have to mention that today marks the day when I have been out travelling for exactly five months. Yesterday it was Lukas six- months- anniversary. This definitely deserves to celebrate. It is a good thing we bought some mongolian vodka and wine today...
