Day 4. After our horrible night in the tent from hell (I spent most of the night holding the wall of the tent away from my face) we scurried into the nearby ger to dry off our sleeping bags and warm up.
After breakfast we set of for a trek to the lakes. It was quite a hike and the last part was straight up a steep mountain in order to get good views of the lake. And boy, were they great views. We sat on the cliff edge eating our sandwiches and contemplating how lucky we were. The lakes are still frozen although they are just starting to melt around the edges.
Our route back to the campsite took in 5 more of the 8 lakes up is the mountains. It was really beautiful. Amazingly, made even more so by the fact that it snows almost the entire day. It was even better than walking in the sunshine. Beautiful in fact.
Back at the camp, we decided to stay in the ger tonight. After dinner we had lots of laughs with the two mongolian guys from the ger and Bogie and Dogie our guides.
