We went for a trip so we could experience “real nomadic life with Mongolian nomads” as our hostel advertised. This entailed going into the beautiful countryside and living in a traditional mongolian house called a Ger, or as we called it Grrrr.

It was a little on the chilly side and we only got about 30 minutes horse riding with our guide, a boy who claimed his name was Genghis Khan, instead of the promised 2 hours but fun was had by all. We took some music trivia cards with us and it turns out that Helene is the queen of boy-band facts. Outstanding!

We were joined by a slightly batty american lady who claimed she could communicate with animals, didn`t seem to understand Tom`s english accent, and read something about creativity through the divine. It was the classic Grrr experience.
