Today was one of those perfect riding days where the scenery is exciting, the weather is calm: not too hot and not too cold, the terrain is varied and friendly people are encountered all along the way. It was hard to leave our Ger this morning as it was such a cozy atmosphere, but we both felt that the show must go on. So we filled up on a huge brunch in our VIP 10 person dining room and after packing up set off at a sprightly 1pm. Throughout the afternoon we went through valley after valley filled with a motley crew of animals: yaks, goats, sheep, cows and hundreds of horses - all seemingly tending themselves. Somewhere in that time an old man wearing a turquoise traditional Mongolian outfit rode up beside me on a red motorcycle sporting the radest aviators and cap - then he smiled and gave me the peace sign before riding off! In the evening we came across the only guesthouse in Bayandchandmani and decided to call it a day. Again, no running water with an outhouse in the backyard, but it does come with a cute puppy - all for 20,000 Togrogs. Dined on an instant noodle and cookie dinner and hit the hay.
