I am writing from an internet cafe while Jerome is waiting outside, probably hungry, so I will be brief.
In the morning we packed up and left UB. After driving north in sunny weather and low traffic for 3 hours, we had a lunch break in the grass somewhere. After 3 more hours we arrived in Sukhbataar. We checked into a hotel that has no internet but is otherwise pretty OK, double room cost 77000 MGT. We plan to cross over to Russia tomorrow morning. Other than that we’ll try to get some food here and chill out. This place seems to be the size of a small village.
So pretty pleasant day so far. 🙂
Good luck for crossing the border!
