    UB to Gobi desert

    September 26, 2019 in Mongolia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Breakfasted at Ramada and then at 11am got a pick up in the school bus to the airport.
    We flew from UB to the Gobi desert airport before being transferred to the Gobi Nomad Camp- gers/ yurts in the desert...,, at a luxury level it was ridiculous- we had an en-suite shower!!
    To make things worse we sat down to a 4 course gourmet lunch before heading to the Yal Valley.
    Sadly this was a bit frustrating because by the time we got there we were losing light so we not able to walk the full 3 kms into the most stunning gorge. This was made worse by being taken into the museum of stuffed animals which took up even more time.... come on let’s see the beautiful and raw desert!!
    We drove back in the dark and were greeted with a 3 course dinner - 4 hours after our lunch!! I never thought I would complain about too much food but there was too much food and not enough time sightseeing!!
    Ps v limited internet so this may be retrospectively written and delayed!!
