Monday the 20th of July.
Exact on time arrived we in Ulaan Baatar, Bandi was waiting already, it was a nice moment to see him again. He drove us directly to the hotel were we took a nice breakfast and a delicious douche.
At ten o'clock was Bandi back and picked us up. The first visit was the statute of the great Chinggis Khaan. About 50 km from the city. When we were driving through the city were we amazed from all
the new buildings. The city is really exploding. Bandi told us that there is a big problem in Mongolia, there are 3 million habitants (Mongolia is three times France) and the last ten years are
there coming more and more people to the city. In Ulaan Baatar are now about 1,5 million people living. The country side is less and less interesting for the young people. The result is that they
build a lot apartments buildings. The city is growing to fast, the logistics from the city is in problems. Small roads to many cars, by rain directly water problems, etc.
The statute of Chinggis Khaan is a gift from a Mongolian businessman, he had history as hobby. He build a museum with on the roof a statute, 40 meters heigh, from Stainless steel (Inox), it is
shining in the landscape. In one leg he build a elevator, so we visit also the head of the horse. Amazing.
The museum has a big collection tools and decorations from the bronze time. A nice and interesting collection. All a private collection.
Bandi brought is after the Statute to 5 different camps from the army from the time de Chinggis Khaan. We talked about the yoert, but Bandi told us, here in Mongolia are no yoert but Gers. We visit
the Gers from the emperor, the commandants, the soldiers etc. it was a beautiful museum were all the camps were about 5 km from each other. The roads were in a condition that we were happy to have
a big four wheel drive.
We had there a wonderful lunch, real Mongolian food. Salad, tea from goat milk, soup from cheap meat and a sort of crêpe filed with a mix mouton meat. Not to bad, but Bandi was not so satisfied,
because the taste was not so good. Choune was eating not so much, he was more tasting, but me... I eat everything.
In the afternoon were we visiting the rest of the camps. It was a fantastic day. The weather was not bad, when we came back in the city...... Was everything under water. It was terrible, there was
an hour before a heavy rain. On some places was the water very high.
We had Diner in a beautiful restaurant near the hotel. It was not possible to walk to much because there was everywhere water.
It was 10 o'clock when we search our beds, nice beds, after 5 nights train......

Was jullie evenwichtsorgaan niet in de war nadat jullie de trein verlaten hadden? Ben benieuwd naar die ervaring!
