Mongolia, far away from home and for a while already on our bucket list; and now we are here. Well, nearly, as we have to pass the Russian-Mongolian border first. Easily said for somebody living in the European Union, but takes a lot of time to be honest. Arriving at […]
Leaving our wonderful campsite was easier than expected, well it started raining during the night and no improvement was visible. So we decided to head on, towards the Katu Yaryk Pass in the Altai Republic. But before heading there, we had a stop at some famous rock carvings, most of […]

However, camping in […]
