Have a look at previous 3Nations posts on the Expedition Page. It's where all the cool kids hang out!
Sunday 26th July 2009
Today was a free day for us to relax, recharge the batteries etc... which is usually needed at some point in the middle of such a long expedition.
In the morning, as a thank you to the monks that allowed us to camp and hike on their land, we did a litter sweep through part of the Bogd Khan National Park.
You would be surprised for somewhere so remote just how much rubbish we found in the National Park!

| All of us, about to set off on our mission. |
It truly was rather disgusting. Some of the stranger things that we found included most of a deck of cards (all separate of course, we were all trying to collect poker hands as we went along) and I found a fair amount of a vehicle chassis.

In total we filled somewhere in the region of 130 black bin bags!
The rest of the day was ours, and was mostly filled with laundry and washing and relaxing. Until dinner came along and we were told that it would be a cooking competition, where we were to make some traditional Mongolian food. We opted for some Khuurshuur (pronounced Horsha) with a variety of different fillings.

And we actually came joint first! Tho to settle who came first overall it was a relay race to the flag pole... which we didn't win. The rest of the evening was just laid back and relaxed.
