The Schumacher of the Steppe

Our stay in Mongolia will mainly be in a ger camp (felt tent made of wool),
4h drive south of Ulan Bator (UB). To go there, we got our own driver and
his very old bus. Incredibly, most of the journey to the camp is not on
regular roads but simply on sand, in the steppe of the pre-Gobi desert
(ok 'incredibly' for JC the pure city boy ;-) ). I was amazed by the skills
of this man; he was driving this bus at 70kmph in the sand, with a ride
not bumpy at all considering the conditions . I had to sit down by his side
to watch him in action, making the bus slide, redirecting it in case of sand
planning, etc. Wow!This guy well deserved his title of the Schumacher of
the Steppe! ;-) JC
