Monday 21st May - First night under the stars





Pic 1: Erdene children. Pic 2: Mongol herdsmen - why does everyone look underneath?
Pic 3: Trans-Mongolian Railway. Pic 4: Local fans in Saynshand.
Seb & I camped for the first time, found a spot by a station. Fortunately not many trains. Another stunning morning - no clouds. Slept well except when trains came past.

Later managed to find Saynshand's best hotel, and first wash since Saturday am. No hot water.

We've managed a 150 mile trials section in 2 days. Average speed 12mph! The main road from China to the capital of Mongolia Ulaan Baatar consists of deep sand, corrugated hard stuff, and stones.
