Mongolia🇲🇳Last week in Mongolia

The last week in Mongolia had begun. In the beginning, it took some getting used to the vast distances and the often monotonous nature in many places, but it was the ultimate freedom that you can experience in this country and the fantastic places that break up the endless plains like oases in a desert that stole my heart.

The last week started at the hostel back in UB. There, we met a Polish couple who were quite lively. When asked if they were together, they both gave opposite answers, equally resolute. The woman then explained that she had lived in Lisse for seven years and that she was Jacoba van Beijeren. The man talked about the national park we wanted to visit, describing the hills as so steep that you had to climb them on hands and feet, and that at the top, hordes of wild animals were waiting. The description sounded more like the Himalayas filled with wolves, bears, and lynxes than the gently rolling hills with a few stray cows and horses that we found the next day.
