Woke up to the sound of the flowing river and bursting to go to the loo. Here's its hilarious as everywhere here is your toilet, as we are camping in the middle of nowhere, there's few paved roads, so our four wheel drive is crammed full of our driver, cook, guide and Rachel and me, a motley crew on an incredible ten day adventure through Western Mongolia. If you need to go you find a large plant or small hill to crouch behind, travelling here is not for the faint hearted!
The sky was so bright full of stars and our first night camping by the river has been amazing. Washing your hair in the cool river water is certainly a thing to really wake you up!
The curious children eventually came closer to our tent and the fun begins when we get out the large rainbow frisbee and we're all playing - hilarious, don't think that they get many foreigners just appear as their neighbours for the night. We then head through Hovd and off to a large lake for lunch, although we seem to be on the menu as we get badly bitten!
Then off again towards the mountains, as we head towards the Eagle Hunters recently featured in an amazing set of BBC pictures!
We camp on the middle of nowhere with view of the Tsamba-Garav Uul, one of the largest mountains and there's still snow on top in mid summer! There's just us and a far away camp with horse riders preparing for Nadaam festival. Eat by the river and have an early night - slowly adjusting to all this fresh air!
