On the road to Khovsgol Nuur

A few quick words while we have a break in Moron on our way to the biggest lake in Mongolia, Khovsgol Nuur. We have both recovered from our sickness in Ulaanbataar. We had to spend an extra day there recovering, but it worked out well as there were some interesting people to chat to at Oasis. Today is day 5 of our journey to the lake. It has been long and rough, although very scenic. We have had one flat tyre so we have successfully repaired the rear tyre of my bike. We have visited a remote buddhist monastery and ridden past the industrial centre of Mongolia with lots of smoke-billowing soviet style factories. Otherwise all is going well except for sore backsides and tired minds after some 200km+ days of concentrating. Thankfully I can post a few pics this time as the camera is all functional again.

You boys are looking more Mongolian by the day - must be the diet of Marmot livers!
