de genomen route

Na wat buitenlandse reisjes voor de verandering eens een boottochtje gemaakt over de Nederlandse wateren. Een goede gelegenheid om Nederland ook eens vanaf een andere kant dan het asfalt te bekijken. Of eigenlijk gewoon Nederland bekijken, want zo vaak heb ik nog geen vakantie gevierd in eigen land ;)

De reis is begonnen in het stadje Sloten in Friesland en als einddoel stond Hoogmade in Zuid-Holland op de planning. De route die we uiteindelijk hebben gevolgd is weergegeven op het kaartje en is (aldus de berekening via de ANWB kaarten) op 328km uitgekomen. Niet verkeerd toch? We zijn in totaal 12 dagen onderweg geweest, waarvan we er 10 hebben gevaren.

The final few days of this holliday  I spend in Beijing..

02-10 : Sleeping this night didn’t went to well cause I had a severe cold. Around 2.30 pm we arrived in Beijing. We took the subway to the Far East Youth hostel. Someone told us that this is a nice place for backpackers to be. That wasn’t a lie. It has a nice courtyard where you can relax a bit from the busy city outside. Janick the Canadian guy we Garden at Temple of Heaven Beijingmet earlier was here to, so we took dinner together. Was a nice Chinese (duh!) restaurant where we had tasty food. Not like in Europe. Jacqueline suddenly looked pale and became black for her eyes. With a bit of water and fresh air back to the hostel and put her to bed. Can’t be the food, cause the others and I survived.

Continued from the Mongolian camping trip

Artistical performance28-09 – 30-09 : These days were a bit relaxing after the campingtrip. So iGandantegchenling in UB catched up with my e-mail and exchanged pictures with the others. Very handy those Ipods and Archos portable harddisks : no need to allready filter out the pictures you like ;)

What can you do more to relax around here? Joining for a cultural performance is one of them. Amazing in what position some people can get their body!

The last day in Ulaan Bataar (30-09) we said goog-bye to Nathan who went by train to Russia.

….continued from Campingtrip/Mongolia 2005 (3)

Yolyn Am23-09 : Around 9.15 we headed to Yolyn Am, a 160km/5 hours from here. Yolyn Am is also known as Vulture’s mouth and was originally established to conserve the bird life in the region, its dramatic and very unusual scenery of a valley in the middle of the Gobi desert, with metres thick ice almost all year around. Sadly no ice off course when we were there :( Gerbail? Marmot
There’s a nature/ethnography museum and we had a very beautiful walk there. We spotted also a lot of kind of marmots (Gerbail?) and on the way back from out of the car a glimp of a fox, but he ran away when we stopped the car to take a better look at him.
Our camp site for the night was in a very windy and cold area, so it was just a matter of choosing between a windy higher camp ground with the chance the the camp site would blow away or a lower, sheltered dry riverbed with the chance to be flushed away when it would rain enough. Looking at the stars….we choose the riverbed ;) Sadly there’s not to much to make a camp fire here, so after preparing the dinner in the cold windy area, eating it and doing the dishes, we head straight into the tents and hoped that it wouldn’t rain..
