Rest day in Mürün. A strange name for a Mongolian city with all the umlauts. Hitler must have been here and then decided to settle for Poland instead. I don't blame him. The town is in the middle of a vast and rugged northern Mongolia. Basically in the middle of nowhere. But it did earn itself four lines in Wikipedia.
The Gobi Desert is long forgotten and the country side looks like everything from South Africa to Ireland. The latter because of the greenness and all the sheep. I have recognized the Karoo, the rolling hills of Natal and the Garden Route of the Western Cape. That is minus the ocean and the wine.
Mongolia also looks like the world's biggest golf course. Apparently some dude took a sabbatical from his engineering job and hit his little white ball across the entire country. There is a book about it but don't read it unless you are interested in golf.
We have cycled about 700km since the last rest day and almost 2000km since Beijing. In this section we had two days on rough unpaved roads which rattled our bones and dislodged our fillings. One lady had to have dental care. Camping was in dry river beds, wet river beds and on nomad lands. Six days without shower.
Roads less travelled
On the 5th out of sheer desperation day I climbed through the window of building where there was running water. It was owned by a rich Mongolian with a "works in progress" camping site where one could rent a ger or yurt which is a portable round tent covered with skin and felt. Almost like my Hilleberg. I settled for my own tent which was almost blown into the river during a violent storm in the evening.
Tent with a view
Villages are scarce and far apart. The only entertainment on the road is to watch the cattle. There are big wooly black cows with thin ankles looking like Russian ladies with fur coats. Also droves of wild horses and millions of goats and sheep. They seem to graze happily side by side. Just like the people from the Middle East.

Wild horses
The rest day goes far to fast with bicycle cleaning, wiping sheep manure off ground sheets, six days of laundry, buying snacks and drinking. Alcohol not tea.
