Khovd, Mongolia
after over 50 hours at border now well into Mongolia.
Khuvsgul, Mongolia
Still stuck at border, some slept with cars some in town. We were well behaved (older teams some with kids) yet being accused of heavy drinking and partying through the night. Stuff stolen from two cars, fuel tanks and spare wheels. Local authorities really 'hard work' and making up stories....not fun now.....
Khuvsgul, Mongolia
stuck at border waiting for car to be imported. Maybe tomorrow. Had meal with local family, dumplings and tea.
Khuvsgul, Mongolia
long and very cold night at border, little sleep fully clothed in sleeping bag and tent. Gates opened at 9:00, Russian side painfully slow, but we are 'moving' I guess. Expecting Mongolian side to be much worse.
Khuvsgul, Mongolia
at border with Mongolia, its closed. We now wait, tent is up and car in queue. About another 5 rally cars ahead of us, one has been here a night already...
