Pic 1: Seb at morning prayers. Pic 2: The main (only) road from China to UB. Pic 3: A warning about taking the Gobi seriously. Pic 4: At a cairn, gathering luck for the journey.
Morning: Sandstorms over and a beautiful morning. Seb helped adjust the brakes on Kip's car, while I greased ours everywhere, ready for what may be a tough drive today.
Unexpectedly no tarmac. Drove for 7 hours and managed 80 miles - never fully confident that the tracks we were following were the right ones, but a navigator has to appear to know what she's doing. Arrived late afternoon in the small railway town of Erdene. Found food (a restaurant reopened specially for us) and beer, then turned our attention to looking for a bed. The desert does turn chilly at night.
