    Today we explored a part of the Middle Gobi desert, better known as the Dundgobi province. It is famous for its surreal, alien like rock and clay structures.

    We woke up at 7:30am and had breakfast together. After a nice, warm cup of coffee, we hit the "road" again. Nearly three hours and a lunch stop later, we reached today's destination; the White Stupa (Tsagaan Suvarga). Once an ancient seabed, it is now a cliff formation of orange, white, and pink layered limestone structures.

    For the night, we got a new place to stay with another nomadic family, who seem to be camel breeders. I tasted the offered camel milk, which tasted quite sour - nothing I would order in a restaurant, but I'm definitely happy to have tried it :D.

    Alright, that's the update for you guys – hope you enjoy the tales, at least half as much as I enjoy the experience.
