14.10.2014, 6.55-7.33 AM, train 034 from Ulan Bator to Erlian


What a night. We had ordered “hard sleeper” tickets, which we expected to be similar to the Russian Platskartny, but the compartment turned out to be identical with the Kupé wagon we took to Ulan Ude. However, sleeping on the train was hard as ever, and for some mysterious reason the wagon attendant would come to wake us up two hours before arriving at the border. As to make it impossible for anyone to rest any longer, the bed linen were also taken away, and the upper berths rised up against the wall. So we spent the morning reading, listening to music, trying to communicate with the two Chinese co-travellers, and generally complaining. And eating breakfast, of course.

  • 8 small mandarins (really good!)
  • 2 poor kiwis
  • apple cake
  • seabuckthorne juice (which seems to be well appreciated in Mongolia – and for a reason!)
