Today we started our adventures around Mongolia (28th August to 8th September). (We arrived in Ulanbataar by train early am and flew to Moron early pm. Then a 3.5hr van trip to Lake Khovsgol)
It is strange living in a Ger – especially as it gets very cold at night but luckily we have a fire to keep us nice and toasty and we have three blankets as well!
We made a cairn and I wished that I liked food that I didn’t like and that people wont bully me at my new school.
Daddy and I made a great cubby house – it was huge – as you can see from the picture.
This little girl was really cute!
(After 2 days very bumpy travelling we arrived at the Great White Lake)
This is the view of the moon out of our ger!
We went on a walk around a volcano crater. When I had to lean into the crater for a photo I got scared. You could see our camp from the volcano.
Daddy and Mummy thought that the black things were dried lava – but yes I was right – they were actually cairns!
We went on a row boat and I went fishing. But I didn’t catch anything – Daddy didn’t catch anything either.
The beautiful sunset over great white lake….
We went to hot springs – and it was divine! The water was nice and warm. Where the water came out of the ground it smelt like sulphur!
This was a buddhist temple in Karakorum. At the museum I enjoyed looking at the model of the old city.
Just before we got to the next camp we went on a camel – yay!
Daddy and I walked up sand dunes and found the steepest bits to run back down – weeeeeeeee!
In the forests we found lot of amazing creatures…furry cows, amazing birds, gasshoppers to catch, marmuts – they are like chipmonks and wolves.
The roads we travelled made me feel sick as they were winding and very very bumpy!
After 8 nights in gers we arrived back in Ulan Bataar! I had mojitos to drink (without alcohol!!)
Bye for now!
