MONGOLIA - Desert Gobi // emotional roller coaster ride

[English below] With the last rays of sunlight, I reach Mongolia together with Juan Carlos from Spain. The flat light, the long shadows over the rolling grassland – an impressive welcome after a long journey, this time without any major mechanical issues on the motorcycle. Yet the rapid wear of the chain, which I installed last year in Osh, irritates me. The downside of a tight time frame: unforeseen events force compromises. Obtaining spare parts, weather-related route changes – in the north, heavy rains and high water levels prevailed, meaning I couldn't complete the section just in time. An emotional rollercoaster began and put my mental state to the test. _________________________ With the last rays of the sun, I reach Mongolia together with Juan Carlos from Spain.
