We are in a little provincial town called Oelgij now. So far we have had good "roads", even about 40km of asphalt. As long as it doesn't rain it might be ok here. We'll see. We've heard about the raods about any opinion somebody could have. From No Problem to Impossible. The whole range.
Unfortunately knowing some Russian doesn't help here. Just hands and feet. Last night we had a friendly Mongolian visitor coming over to our tent. Since he didn't want to go away we gave him some tea and some of our spaghetti. Poor guy, he obviously thought it was terrible food.
Now we just got our first Mongolian money and are ready to ride a little bit towards the West now. Just about 80kms. There we'll wait for the eclipse tomorrow. In the afternoon there will be a total eclipse visible here, so we decided to stay one day longer in the area. We'll just try to get a bit closer to the mountains. Otherwise all good and more news from Ulan Bator. We are planning to be there in around 10 days.

Wir beneiden Euch um die totale Sonnenfinsternis und dann auch noch dies Ereignis in der Mongolei!
Viel Glück für die weitere Fahrt. Laut Buch von Michael Giefer holte er sich meist Rat von den Englisch-
lehrern in den Schulen, da er sonst auch Sprachprobleme hatte. Vielleicht eine Möglichkeit?
Liebe Grüße
