Day #8: Deep in the Mongolian grasslands

On their way back to Europe through China, our favourite Jesuits, Grueber and d’Orville had to cross the limitless plateaux of grasslands in Inner Mongolia, so we did as well!

We woke up to watch a stunning sunrise and get an early start for our expedition into the grasslands.

Back in 1664, horses were the main means of transportation for both the Jesuits and the Mongolians, The horses are beautiful but we found that we were better at getting around with a really cool quad!

Our riding skills were not quite at this level unfortunately, but it was fun to watch and to try!
