Mongolia Tour - Day 5

Unfortunately Mongolia has a problem with rubbish. In rural areas everybody is just burning the rubbish and putting it afterwards in a hole in the ground. You can often see tumbling rubbish everywhere... 

 Another scenic spot in the Gobi Desert: The flaming cliffs. You can find a lot of dinosaur fossils, if you walk around the sandy stones. You can also easily destroy the cliffs with your hand, because of the soft, sandy structure of the stones. 

 Jo found a fossil of a T-Rex!!

 Some more impressions on the next pictures...(With a click on the picture you can enlarge them, so it is even more impressive)



The so called "Schnittlauch" (chive) desert! Unbelievable: when we stopped for lunch somewhere in the Gobi desert, we found chive everywhere on the ground!
The nomadic people have a good recipe: they put chive together with some salt in a glass and eat this kind of relish together with bread. Yummy! 



We stopped for lunch in the "Schnittlauch" desert and Oyonaa prepared some good food for us. 

After lunch we continued our journey in the direction to the big sand dunes (the biggest in the Gobi desert). 


The sand dune was amazing! 

... and exhausting to climb :-) (More pictures on the next day...) 

 Beautiful scenery in the evening.

We stayed two days at this place. To be continued...
