Day 3 / by John Tsialos

To Sainshand 

Today was spent mostly on the road. We head east for 2 hours to Dalanjargaan, a small town with a old Russian military base. Then we rejoin the highway for 3 hours till we reach Saynshand city. We stop for supplies and head towards Khamar Monastery, which is about 30 minutes away. We decide to explore the monastery the next day and find a nice place to camp on top of grassy sand dunes. After another amazing sunset the wind picks up and we escape to the safety of our tents.
