Pic 1: at the border - 1st hour, and still cheerful. Pic 2: Mongolian minibus loaded with Chinese goods. Pic 3: Carmen - in the fifth hour of waiting. Pic 4: Setting off from the Erenhot hotel.
Morning: At the border crossing first thing. It took 7 hours to exit from China (apparently all the fault of the computer), and 50 minutes to Enter Mongolia (where, wisely, they use a paper-based system).
Slight clutch problems - making some unhappy noises.

Evening: In Dzamin Uud, famous for being the most southern and the hottest place in Mongolia. Fierce sand storm blowing, which makes us almost grateful for the Chinese delay - otherwise we'd be driving through it, instead of just walking to a restaurant for supper.
At the hotel by the railway station we asked for rooms, and they said yes, but not until 10pm - that's when the train leaves, so it's when people check out.
