Days 17/18 Mongolia - more camping and lots of driving

12 August
Day 17 Mongolia

Not a big day today.  Fairly late start then we headed back to Moron for a bit of cook team shopping, some lunch and more importantly ... Wifi and toilets.

I had a Mongolian meal there (noodles and meat) and it was fine.

We then had a very short drive to some more Deer Stones.  There were some far more noticeable decorations on these stones but honestly they are just not worth the time to stop and look at them in my opinion.  And since I'm writing for me my opinion is the only one that matters.

After the stones we headed to an early bush camp by a river.  Some swimming, drinking and general relaxing.

I still don't really like camping.


13 August
Day 18 Mongolia

Mostly a big travel day today.  We didn't do much else.

Breakfast, packing up camp then a quick stop in Moron to stock up on beer and snacks before we drove until a bush camp at 7pm.

Nothing much to speak of.

Mongolia continues to deliver excellent scenery everywhere you go though it does get a bit same-same after a while.

The cook group did a good job tonight.  Chicken stew, mashed potato and tomato cacciatore for main.  They bought a blowtorch in Moron one day this week and made caramelised trifle with it for dessert.  They've consistently done a good job.

The stars here are fantastic.  So many, so clear and heaps of shooting stars.

If only I didn't have to disappear into a tent.
