And I was on the road again!
With 2 mongolian friends we went to Khusgul the biggest clear water lake in north Mongolia, very close to the russian border.
On the way a small breakfast!
In Mongolia there are some pure water sources with some properties. This water was good for the stomach, it was my travel's water :-)
And this is the source
a dust storm, not good...
but luckily we were eating tsuivan inside :-)
And here in the capital city of the province, and this is clear, all about fish :-)
yep!
this is the entrance to khusgul
and night rest at a ger camp, hot and nice!
And now I let you appreciate the lake
so clear, so clean, you can see everything!
fantastic scenery!
One small problem, water temperature: 3 degrees, I managed 1 minute inside….
and in panorama
some yaks walking around, big one!
and a smoked fish that went in my stomach!
so cute! Many baby animals around, sheep, goat, horses, yaks, …
I want to take them all!!!!!
Cloud version
night falling down version
and full moon
There we were camping for one night after a great fire camp and a good dinner!
In summer time you have flowers everywhere
this is a holy place were we prayed and offer some milk, rice, scent, ...
the road in the country side, actually most of the time not paved, but sometimes better than paved road!
and this was on the way back. A paradise where we were camping and ...
of course swimming for me!
Water was much hotter there!
Luckily they built another bridge, would have been difficult!
a typical village in the countryside
and the road again that can be a bit difficult, for us but
especially for the car :-(
but was quickly repaired!
And this was a stop by a nomadic family:
This is fresh yogurt, better you cannot get!
this is called orom, which is fresh cream from the milk, just delicious
And this goat was 2 days old, so cuuuuute!!!!!
this is me cooking some special dessert, and I did very well, the lady was very happy !
and the final version, just delicious
this is done with yogurt, cream, milk, flour and sugar!
I forgot the name :-)
and that one is mysterious!
This is to make the milk alcohol: inside we have yogurt boiling, and then with the condensation it is making alcohol
Great one, very fresh too!
And here it's me making aruul!
I was really a professional!
Look at the result!
Unfortunately it takes 2 days to dry, I couldn't try my own ones, but I am sure that the family appreciate!
You can also see a lot of these small animals, called prairie dog I think!
And this was the last ger camp, with my own private ger!
Great!
And then after 5 fantastic days back to UB!
Now I have seen almost everything in Mongolia
Well almost, means I have to come back :-)
