White Lake back to Ulaan Baatar
This first batch of pictures are from the second and third day at White Lake. One day was spent relaxing around one of the more isolated sections of the lake and the next we took a half-day horseback ride up to the volcano.
After that it was back in the van to start back towards UB. The first day was covering ground we'd already seen back through Tsetserleg to the same hot springs we'd already visited.
From the hot springs we drove to see Erdene Zuu Khiid monastery at Kharkhorin.
The next day started out with a visit to the "Mongol Sand Dunes" (which were not very impressive after the Khongor dunes), followed by the Ovgon Khiid monastery complex.
Then it was back to Ulaan Baatar. Not much to see along the way - the scenery got less interesting the closer we got to the capitol.
That's it for the first trip. Tomorrow I leave on an even longer (3 week) trip out to see the west and north of the country. Internet access will be rare, however I expect to be online for a couple days once I reach Olgii in a week or so and will try to post from there.
