Mongolian Wilderness About 1600km in 6 days (I'll correct this when I remember to bring my note's with me!) I left UB with my new tyre and a new me after a 4 day rest! Not far out of UB the paved road disappears and opens up into big dirt tracks. Everyone in Mongolia seems to have their own idea of which way is the best to go and in some places this results in 6 or maybe even 10 different roads all going in the same direction but on slightly different paths. ...

Keyboard's and Kiwi's 395km I packed up camp and left about 8:00. I had tried to make it to Karakorum yesterday, but after getting slightly lost and having left UB late I still had a few km's to go.. Actually I didn't know how far I had to go! But I had a bigger problem than being lost, I hardly had any money with me! Stupidly I had left UB with only a small amount of cash.

Nothing had been done on Sunday as Rene really needed to find a Doctor that was not drunk, pretty hard thing to do in UB app...

The Oasis 526km On the infamous road to Chita I had met a few people riding the other way, mostly Europeans who were almost at the end of their journey. There were usually big waves and a few of them pulled over and we had a chat. One such couple were a Swiss/German pair riding a KTM Adventure. We had the usual bad road conversation and they gave me a business card for a place to stay (called Oasis Guesthouse) in Ulan Baatar, Mongolia (known as UB from no...
