Up at 6am to sort the gear into the car so we could go to breakfast at 7am.
That was a waste of time, only thing on the menu for white man was fried egg so that was it. Departed Jining 8 am’ish , glad to see the end of it.
Another day of beaut motorways disappearing into the horizon and with very little traffic. It would be an awesome place to shake down that high powered car of your dreams. The countryside is now desert , we were stopped twice by nomadic goat and sheep herders as they drove their flocks across the 3 lane hiway.
Arrived at Erinhot at 1.30 welcomed by another chinese luncheon. The freeze dried meals are starting to look inviting. This is a much nicer town and the hotel a vast improvement.
Tomorrow the border to Mongolia challenge You are unlikely to hear from us for a week.
