Day 2 - Was this a good idea?

Started out the next day by piling back into the van after breakfast. We drove around for most of the morning (5-6 hours), in what felt like in circles. I don't think that our driver quite new where he was going. We came to each home or person we saw to ask for directions, the only thing they have is landmarks and after a while everything direction starts to look the same.

This looks like the way

 We eventually found our way and stop to explore an abandon monastery while our cook made us lunch. We met these two kids who I have never seen have so much fun on a bicycle without actually riding it. They just pushed it around and circles like it was a giant toy car.

After lunch we drove for about 40 minutes and we came across this group of gers. We unloaded our stuff into one while the driver and cook joined the family in the other. It was only 3 in the afternoon and we had no idea why we had stop so early in a place with absolutely nothing around to explore. It was an odd feeling having no where to go or anything to do.

Can you spot our yurt?

We decided to go for a walk even though we knew that we really wouldn't make it anywhere. The beautiful windy landscape made it enough to bare for one day, but we hoped for a few more activities tomorrow.
