Charlotte checked in overnight to let us know that all members have arrived with all their gear. The Team hit the ground running and today, they toured the city of Ulaanbaatar, visiting the city center and the giant statue of Genghis Khan. After the city center, they took a short drive over to the monastery before heading to the National Museum. On the way back to the hotel, the team stopped off to do a little cashmere shopping. A few more gear checks and then off to the cultural show. The cultural show is a must see when visiting Mongolia. People sing and dance in traditional clothing. The throat singing is beyond imagination! Safe to say the team stayed busy to beat the jet lag.
Tomorrow, the team will repack their gear and head to the airport to start the journey to Mount Khuiten.
All is well in Mongolia!
