back to our circumnavigation around the globe and water cycle we're here in the city of dahan in mongolia and we're here with aiba and jana in the car in front of us and oh hold on a minute just made a nice splash on there oh my god and last night aiba was kind enough to offer us a room in his place oh my god oh my god it was a really really crazy thunderstorm going on yesterday night so it was pretty much raining the whole night and today this way out turned into a little bit of an off-road trail here wow oh my god this is actually quite extreme isn't it yes yeah aiba bought this plot on the edge of dahantown but of course the road to get there isn't fully developed yet oh my god my heart okay it's okay as long as i'm just going through nice and easy okay i'm just gonna have to go nice and easy straight through it okay wow wow wow yeah there was a lot of rain last night hey oh my goodness yes yeah some heavy rain wow here we go but we have still a little bit of a ride today yeah so we're heading for breakfast with aiba and jana now then let me show you the route for the rest of the day okay so welcome to our new and wonderful map of mongolia so we are all the way in the north here just near the border to russia and today we are heading down this road to the capital of mongolia ulaanbaatar okay i'm gonna have to go through it i think yeah it's the only way all right here we go yes we reached the edge yeah wow that was a start hey i'm already loving mongolia yeah the ride in yesterday was absolutely spectacular it was just amazing all the animals we saw herds of horses goats cattle nomadic herders in the beautiful crazy mountains was just really really cool it's like 15 20 horses and one go running across the road into the distance you know they are nice mountains they are lakes wow and a herd of camels we saw camels yesterday factory and camels for the first time in our lives and that was just absolutely magical they were like up on the top of this hill with the sun behind them it was a scene out of a mongolian documentary really for sure but anyway i'm super hungry apparently aiba tells us that we we kind of missed breakfast so he said we can have like mongolian fried noodles so we said yeah all right let's have mongolian fried noodles for breakfast awesome and also aiba showed us the youtube channel that he's working on he's part of a team that do this channel called artger it's all about mongolian food mongolian culture music and these guys are traveling around and just making some really really nice videos yeah wow guys you really have to check out this one video of them where they're actually preparing food inside a oh my god what was it like inside a goat inside a goat like the whole goat like they cut their head off and then they take everything out of the neck then they put back all the meat after it's been like carved out and stuff and they put vegetables and then they put hot rocks inside the goat you cook it inside its own skin yes absolutely crazy really guys you have to check out this video you can't believe it it's insane i'm just really really impressed with their work they're doing on their channel really good job guys i love it it's a really really cool channel so check it out i'm gonna put the link in the description it's called artger which ger is the traditional yurt and art so it's art house yes in mongolian yeah and everything is in english as well which is really cool amazing but this is actually insane as well there's how much water there is yeah are we back in ecuador oh my god it gets seriously seriously deep just here yeah i think that carbs is uh is toast oh my god a bit of flooding so i don't think mongolia is a very vegetarian friendly nation actually i think for breakfast the noodles we're gonna have might have beef in it as well you know i love to be vegetarian but i'm getting sick of it as well because we traveled to so many countries and the cuisine is always so meat-based and i said now for this country you know if there's a little bit beef in my noodles yeah i will eat it yeah and iber said as well that we just um probably aren't gonna find much vegetarian food so if we can't find anything vegetarian too easily we're just gonna go with it we're just gonna roll with it it's the only way we can go yeah i mean you lost a lot of weight as well yeah recently so anyway i'm hungry and i'm looking forward to a traditional mongolian lunch oh look it's like what we saw yesterday so this is a typical lunch place yes cool so everywhere you go you have this typical pan and then and then we have this menu there's nothing you can see but yeah there's some good options right there yeah right and so we're gonna have some noodles fried noodles oh i'm excited the script yes it's actually the one and only script that is written from the top to bottom that's a big big noodle portion oh yes i'm excited want a bit eat thank you this one this is sheep tail this is sheep tail i'm going to love sheep tail it's full protein it's not it's not fat okay ollie i want to see you eating sheep tail okay so our first mongolian meal hey yes and it was completely not vegetarian yeah yeah i ate a few little bits of meat but it was actually super tasty really nice actually yeah so now we're all to mission number two before we head to ulambatar and that is to get ourselves a mongolian sim card so we're just going to follow ibra and jana and they're going to take us over to the sim card shop and get ourselves set up with some internet okay okay ibra is about to ride mongolia on the box mongolia no way that's mongolia wow this is mongol mongol yes mong mongol mongol so it's like you're beginning to say mongolia and then when you get to here you just give up yeah and you just go yeah yeah yeah you don't need the ia in mongolian you're just like mongol that's awesome thank you that's great okay doc here back on the road it was so nice to stay with you really okay sim card successful we got ourselves 25 gig and a sim card i think it cost us about 10 so that was really really good really cheap and we got ourselves some cash from the ATM as well and it's crazy because i withdrew 800 000 of the local currency which i i don't really remember the name it was something like i don't remember something like that i'll look it up yeah so we got 800 000 i could have withdrawn a million of the local currency and that would have only been like 250 pounds we are millionaires yeah yeah millionaires for a moment until you get to the first hotel and they say oh that's 300 000 please and you're like oh no longer a millionaire oh but right now we're nearly millionaires yeah now ibra and jana are going to the cinema and we are heading to yes my god it was so cool to hang out with these guys i miss them already but we said once we settle down we will make sure that we can invite them to wherever we settle down and then we can spend more time together or we come back to mongolia ibra said good start then it's going to be a good finish so it's been an amazing start in mongolia so i can't wait to see what's ahead so thank you so much ibra thank you so much jana it's been so nice you've been super hospitable and uh we're going to miss you guys yes bye guys bye oh i love them there we go oh alone again alone again hey alone in mongolia alone in mongolia and ibra taught us as well that ulam bata the short form is u b yeah we're just going to head down to u b do a bit of shopping yeah exactly we are so mongolian let's go first fuel up in mongolia yep so 95 is 3820 per liter should we do 92 how much is 92 2470 how much is that it's like 50 cents as well no way well it's 4300 to one 50 cents then like 60 cents yeah it's like 60 cents cool let's go 92 then hey we go for 92 yeah i don't know how we're supposed to do with you supposed to pay first or take the fuel first oh okay so i can do it first oh it's you uh no no me okay thank you so we filled up six and a half liters cost us three pounds 91 so it's like absolutely nothing at the end so lavi says that the toilet is just a hole in the ground i have to see this for myself oh yeah there you go it is indeed just a hole in the concrete oh well let's give it a go look at this perfect tarmac road here looks like it's brand new they're just building it yeah i think so too i think they will actually build a double lane highway you see over there they're building like a second road yeah an amazing open landscapes around look at this hills all around big mountains in the backgrounds incredible absolutely incredible yeah such a stunning landscape it's just so big it's so big how big and open it is yeah it's just open open views crazy man these guys are just admiring our bike they took a break next to us suzuki suzuki suzuki so we're just going to turn off of the main road for a little detour excursion eba he recommended so as he said if you're heading from Dahan down to Ulaanbaatar you have to stop and visit this monastery it's like up on a hill super awesome so many goats so many goats oh and then there's another herd walking across the road what is that no way yeah i think there's a whole herd coming across the road a mongolian roadblock wow look how many sheep wow and goats they're just everywhere there are so many livestock in mongolia i think eba told us they have like over 70 million livestock here wow absolutely incredible and he told us as well that the yurk is actually made out of wool the outside yeah the traditional gear yeah this traditional housing and really we can just see these gears all over the hills everywhere eba told us that something like 40 percent of the population is still semi-nomadic and he told us that they're usually moving from a summer pasture to a winter pasture they're moving like twice per year but in the south in the goby where the resources are more scarce then they're moving more like four times per year or more and basically these herds of animals that are all around are kind of semi-wild they're just kind of wandering around so it's a pretty good life for these guys and i think we've arrived at this place hello hi is it go go this is one pigs yes oh hello guys wow oh i love pigs look there you're on the car park the pigs the pigs are in the car park oh no do we have to walk i think it's up that hill in front we can see people walking up we've got no fitness now that we live on the bike we're like anything that's like more than 100 meters from the bike we're like um should we turn around no we're gonna visit it let's do it hello little piggy oh that's so funny pigs in a car park at least the pig whisperer oh no he's not he's not up up up we go look you could normally drive up here should we do it looks a bit steep look the piggy is following us i love buddhist temples they have always something really majestic yeah this is a good location for a monastery i mean look at this area it's super peaceful beautiful pine forest everywhere a little bit more to go there's a real warrior next to me he is sick very sick i'm gonna go and ask buddha for help nice birds okay sorry back to you feel me buddha i wasn't mentally prepared for a hike today but we've got to get to the temple we've got to go see it we've got to go through mongolia we have to go through russia we have to go to kazakhstan we have to go all the way around the world oh my god i think he's losing it do you think there's such a thing as being traveled to death you are strong my love you are strong if you have the same problem that your husband always pretend to die once he has like a little bit of a blocked nose or a sore throat please tell me what are you doing against it i think the main thing about this place that's really famous is the rock carvings have a look at this and there's like carvings all over the place and even up on the edges of the cliffs on the hills there's just carvings everywhere yeah it's a really cool place it's so beautifully painted this temple here and they're just painting it right now as well you can see them very very carefully very meditatively they're doing an amazing job it looks so so good oh look at the smile it's all right when you get to the top isn't it yeah i mean look at this location hey wow that is making new friends we did it conquered the mountain to the temple so now it's time to head back down to bumblebee and get to Ulaanbaatar before it gets dark the temple was beautiful i really like the colors i like the art i'm not sure what was going on with all these like taxi-dermied frankenstein demon things but they were cool figures anyway and the artwork inside there was just incredible so now we can hit the road again a little bit more zen walking makes hungry i've prepared some bread with marmite and cheese for olive and i've prepared for myself some really nice bread with some cucumber and tomato and some cheese i think there's somebody else interested in my bread and cheese hey you're looking for some bread and cheese buddy no no you wouldn't like this you wouldn't like this would you uh oh we've got another interested party now everyone wants to steal my cheese it's not your cheese buddy oh no they're all coming now pretty cool place i read online just now actually that this is one of the three biggest buddhist monastic centers in mongolia so that's pretty cool and also that the site itself was actually established in the 1700s by order of the manchu emperor so this has been a religious buddhist site for hundreds of years and the rock carvings which are all over the place those are carved by the students and the teachers and it's a very peaceful place yeah i think so too very nice visit good recommendation ipanya so now we have 59 miles to reach our hotel we've actually booked three nights in a hotel on booking.com look some nice little ponies and some nice little piggies they're all excited about some food yeah so it was 18 pounds a night it's a pretty good price thank you and the gps is saying it's going to take us one hour and 50 minutes to get there so it's quite a lot for 59 miles so let's imagine that it's going to be quite a bit of traffic coming into ulam bata right we are finally arriving in ulam bata it's seen a city laid out in the valley before us but it's kind of crazy because we've got 11 miles left to get to this hotel but it says it's going to take an hour to get there and honestly there's been like not much traffic it's been very very easy cruise in the whole time so something is going to change very dramatically if it's going to take us an hour to go the next 11 miles oh we've got some congestion holy crap sticks i think because they go all to the ride we have to go on this lane here ah okay yep gotcha all right okay okay yep all right let's see jesus jesus louise yeah i mean congestion is not even a turn anymore for that here it's like it's like cars just everywhere here on the road everywhere well as usual we seem to be hitting a capital city of a country at rush hour yeah oh yeah oh here we go i think i'm reaching the end of where i can skip wow yep i'm stuck okay it's about as far as we can get without hitting anyone please without hitting anybody very good my love may as well just get into the outer lane yeah didn't they say like nearly half of the population is living here in olambota yeah i think more than half the population of mongolian is here oh i think they're broke down there you go look at that yeah got some all belts all over the ground wow something's going on there one eternity later yeah we are very very close now to our place yeah we're fighting our way through that's the door wow but hey we've got our seven dollar mongolian insurance so no worries with that so apparently it is this turn to the right okay fine yeah a little bit further should be at the end of this street okay danica danica perfect yes we made it all right let's see if anybody's home hello yeah it's like 16 months to reach here yeah oh cool oh that's nice that's cool i can't wait to have a to have breakfast inside there tomorrow isn't it cozy kind of want to live in a garden now all right guess it's time to unload our stuff good evening guys we made it happy and alive yeah we got the closest room to bumblebee so that we could get all our stuffing quite easily look bumblebee is just just there also means we can keep a good eye on her as well yeah and there's some crazy cyclists as well you can see there are bicycles down there i think they're cycling all the way from europe up to here yeah it's quite nice actually it's quite refreshing to see other travelers other tourists we just came in and i already heard a guy speaking on the phone and he's definitely english yeah because yeah in russia we did not see a single other tourist so it's quite refreshing actually we're back in a tourist place with other tourists and this place here is really awesome the room is so nice and clean and we got free breakfast tomorrow morning which we are allowed to have in the gear which is absolutely awesome but now it's time to have a couple of days of rest i don't know if you can hear from my voice but i definitely need to lie down the man's sickness is taken over and that's it from us today we hope you
