The way to Beijing....
Sunday, the way to Beijing.....
The train was exact leaving at08h00. We said bye bye to Bandi, and we hope him and/or his family once to see again in
France. You never know.....
After two hours rolling get the landscape a bit dryer, less grass and more
sand. Less animals and less people. We drove the whole day without stopping through the Gobi desert.
On the end of the afternoon we had a stop in Oelan Oede and in the evening we
arrived in Eryanhot, the last village before the boarder, so we had here the passport control from the Mongolian douane. It took two hours. At about nine
o'clockwe arrived on the Chinese boarder, first the passport control and than the amazing wheel changing.
In China is an other railway size. The European and Russian size from the
railway is the same, but in China they has a wider system. The result is that all the trains must change their wheels.
The train is rolling slowly in a big hall, where every wagon gets in a lift,
with all the passengers inside. A team of technicians is changing the wheels and in about two hours is the train, with a length from about 500 meters, ready for the Chinese railway
system.
Than we were driving the whole night through the North of China.

Wat een maf systeem, zal een hele gewaarwording zijn, zo met je wagonnetje in de lucht:-)
Jammer dat je China in de nacht deed, lijkt mij een spectaculair landschap.
Geniet van Peking!
