Mongolia - PT 1

So here we are in Mongolia at last and its been fun so far!!!!


Prayer flags on the top of the pass.


The gate way to the altai mountains and the start or the very rocky Gobi Desert.
Is that Mrs mop driving???
Not to many of these in the desert.
Starting to get hot again.
A local landrover.
The happy couple.

If you cant see were the track goes then just follow the power lines to the next village and ask.
The camp for the night
So here is the camping and caviar but were is the Cossack???
After a heavy night or a offering to the gods?
Hoof anyone?
Foot down and fingers crossed.
mmmmmmmmm Think they have spelt burger king wrong.
The best way for the not so tuff cars to travel.
Some German people we met.
The good old desert shop, now what have you got on offer today?
This little fella was rescued from the shop and is coming back to the UK for a refurb, a bit like the dragoman truck i used to do.
Wild horses having a mud bath to cool down.
This is in the rocky part of the Gobi desert, but its a great place to camp.

This was our local diesel station.
Looks like a storm is brewing!!!
If you have a close look at the bottom left hand corner you can just about see a car in the distance. This was going to be a big storm.
Its going to be a wet and wind one tonight.
MMMMMMMMM Chinggis vodka, the best you can buy and no hangovers.

Just because people live in a tent they still need to watch big brother and Easterners.
Local shop for bread and other delights.
Great sign but we are not to sure what it is for?

Stop police.
What more could anyone want?
Our random bag of shopping.
Vickys new addiction.
Local rubbish dump.
In the alti mountains, beautiful but bloody freezing.
Could this be the missing Cossack?
Great little spot for lunch.
Our new friend who sold us butter, curd and cheese.
