Day 29 - The last border before Beijing
August 29th, 2009 by Sigurd | 12 comments »The night in the Mongolian railway tent camp was not really comfortable. My tent did stink like pigs or sheep and caused me headache. Around 5.00 am I had enough and got up to start my outdoor morning toilet, not forgetting to take a spate with me … The washrooms were unusable and very dirty. In the East the sky turned red and in front of this scenery the Transmongolian railway passed by. An interesting setting on this morning of my 49th birthday.

But it was also a wonderful day on roads which for sure no other old-timer car had passed before us. Sometimes we even had the impression that no other car before us had been driving on these roads.

Day 27: Outdoor Camping …
August 27th, 2009 by Richard | no comments »We started our drive through the Gobi desert today already at 8.00 am. We spent a good night in our tents or outside under the stars.
Also on this second day in the desert we had a lot of fun driving, however, the rubble road became more and more of a problem for the suspension of the 49 Beetle and for the Cabriolet. The younger “Ovali Beetles” appeared not to have this challenge to the same extent.
