From Dunes to Cliffs

We departed this morning taking yet another rocky road in the desert. This has certainly been the most rugged tour in terms of roads I’ve been on. As we were driving through, we finally met up with another vehicle headed in the same direction. These drivers were a little lost so asked us to wait as they got in touch with their second car so they could follow us. We readily agreed after all, it’s not only in our nature to be helpful but if we were in their shoes we’d hope for the same.

Karma truly does play a role and though we should always be kind, today proved itself how a good deed gives one in return. One of the girls accidentally left her bag in the restaurant we had lunch and it happened to be the one where the group we had helped was so we were able to go back and retrieve it. It’s a most wonderful thing when the world is in harmony and helping each other out.

Our camp for tonight is located right next to the Flaming Cliffs or Bayanzag as the Mongolians call it. This is a world renowned place where dinosaur vines and eggs were found. The cliffs are an easy walk to take in the scenery. We would go back again at sunset to view them in another light.Read more
