Kharkhorin to Ulaan Bataar







Time for goodbyes to all the staff at the ger camp and the long ride back to UB. The trip went much smoother this time- the girls played cards and games while we read and somehow the time went a lot faster.

We got back to UB for a quick last minute shopping expedition to the State store and a few bottles of wine for our evening at the ger. Our last night was at the Genghis Khaan ger- site of the movie set for the movie on Genghis Khaan’s life.
The setting was beautiful- in a national park, with cows and horses milling around. We watched the sunset and had dinner. After dinner, we got to see the full eclipse of the moon and listen to a huge group of Mongolians partying in the restaurant.
