<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> 29 August: Hohhot We woke around 07h30, due to the shades being pulled open allowing a sharp unwelcome sun to shine through.

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> 28 August: Yulin Another early morning, they weren't getting any easier, but we had a lot to do and little time to do it in.

I was able to catch up a little more on the writing, but due to the bumpy ride al...

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> 25 August: Xi'an I was up early, Leanne had packed her bag the day before, but I had opted to rather get up a little earlier and do my packing. The alarm went off at 07h00 and I started to pack, Leanne was up soon after helping with the last few things. We left our bags in the bags storage room and booked out a Mongolia lonely planet before enjoying breakfast at the guest house restaur...
