The van didn’t have any shocks and the road conditions were appalling. (there is only one badly paved road from UB to Kharkhorin). We did have the chance to talk with our new guide, Monhtsag (like Moon sock), who was quite a character. She was 36 years old, had two children, went to school in Russia and traveled as often as she could. Now she manages Bolds' operation and came along with us as ‘interpreter”.
We finally arrived at our ger camp. Set in the middle of the steppe- Bold and Flora have set up about 20 gers perfectly decorated with orange doors and furniture. The facilities were a bit of a hike but they were clean. The restaurant was amazing. Flora had decorated the restaurant ger to perfection and trained the staff as if they were serving in a 4 star restaurant (with different napkin folds every meal and perfect table settings). Dinner was a three-course affair and we opened our French wine and enjoyed.
