GT4: Weird Stuff Along the Road...

Before leaving our camp, we did some more exploration, as usual. However, this time we found something very impressive!

Yummy!


Then we were on the road again. Since we were low on supplies we headed for a village. Since we were in a village, we looked a round a little and found something very welcome; a bathhouse. I use the term loosely, since the "bathhouse" only has showers, but you get the gist of it. Anyway, although the building was a little run down, the showers worked to perfection. The pressure could be increased manually until it hurt and the water temperature ranged from freezing to scalding. Really nice. To make things even better, so guys were listening to music in their car with the doors open and the speakers pumping. And not only any music, but the last thing I expected to hear in Mongolia; Nightwish! Imagine that, the Finnish metal band got all the way out here!

After resupplying, we headed out once more. our next break was with some desert critters!

Mr. Camel.


Another lizard.


After our break we came to 2 monuments, both dedicated to Mongolian throat singers.

Traditional Mongolian script looks like it's from Lord of the Rings (zoom in on the rock).


Rainbow!




Giant outdoor stage in the middle of nowhere!


After touring these monuments, we headed to our last camp; the large rock formations. Needless to say, they are quite a bit larger than the first ones!!!


Another rainbow at our camp!


Some female wild sheep critters.


Pretty sky...!
