Trip to Russia, Mongolia and China

Hustai National Park

Wednesday the 22th of July
What an region.... silence..... only birds.... That's the nature in Hustai. After the breakfast were we leaving for a tour through the park. Bandi took not the regular roads, no, only the small ones. After a few kilometres were we going to the left, direct with the car in dry river, we know the roads with a slope from 6 or 7%, but here are the roads till about 40%, after this start came there many of this places. Our driver, (Bandi) and car were working maximal.
We were enjoying the landscape. Mountains, plain fields, everything was passing.
Bandi showed us several graves from about 2000 BC..... It was an impressing morning.

We stopped by a family who were shaving there cheeps by hand with a pair of scissors. Ten minutes later were we by a farmers family, Bandi called them before and asked them or we could have lunch by them. So, they received us with a cup of milk, traditional with a blue scarf. Only tasting and than inside the Gers.
We had again a wonderful table full of milk products. Goat- milk tea, goat-milk creme, bread, an assortment meat from the cow, the goat and the cheep. It was good food.
On the end of the lunch was the mother asking or we were interested in vodka, you know us..... Two minutes later were we in an other Gers an there was she making vodka. In a simple kettle was she heating some yogurt (goat-milk) in the kettle was hanging in the middle a pan. On the top a big pan, like a wok. In the wok they put cold water, so the yogurt is damping against the wok, en the drops are falling down in the small pan. Easy to do by your self.
The taste was not bad, but with a taste of cheese.

After the lunch were we driving to an other grave. Bandi explained the whole history. Very interesting, see the photo's. It was now time to go back to the camp, but what were we lucky. Bandi stopped and showed us some animals, who were crossing the mountains, more then two hundred Anti lopes, we were amazed....
Ten minutes later was a herd dears crossing our road.... Fantastic. We stopped .... And there was also a big Eagle, five meters from us.... We lucky guys, we saw a lot of animals today.
And you believe it or not, but on our way back to the camp we passed a car with inside our friends who we meet on the train, the Family Lapidaire Groenen. It was a nice (short) meeting.
We were back at six.

Our diner was servedat seven o'clock.What a wonderful day!
