Why adventure travel ( Mongolia Trip- Day2)

After meeting up with a designated guide , we are on our own, on the first day. We ventured Ulan Bator . Not many high rise buildings as we normally see in the modern cities. Buildings are interesting & will post a couple of pictures on our first day before moving to Gobi Desert., Photo of the square in Ulan Bator

Why adventure travel ( Mongolia Trip)

Hi I have been away for a while & I am going to start writing on Mongolia trip. Again it is the same 3 of us , Me, MJ & Poh. This is realliy an interesting trip & lots of memories that I am going to share with you. Why we choose Mongolia, reason is simple as we want to conquer difficult places while we all still have the energy to endure the hardship along the way. MJ did all the reserach & we are supposdly to meet our guide in Ulan Batur. Our travel is via Beijing to Mongolian's capital. I would like to start the trip by introducing a mind boggling at least to me, that is the Gobi Desert, Used to be an ocean but it is the driest place on earth & the other one is Mongolian house called Ger. I am extracting some of interesting photos of Gobi Desert & the Ger. The GER, couple of Gobi Desert shots & Graham ( the person we interacts for the trip )& our guide. Enjo & will share more in the next post

Why Adventure travel ( Nairobi airport)

Had left Ngorongoro & moved back to Nairobi to catch a flight back to M'sia, I felt very happy as I had accomplished what I had to do, Now it is time to go home, but before that i would like to share with U on some of unpleasant encounter on food. I guess eventhough that we are very adventurous, food hygiene is important to be observed. 3 of us were wandering along the town , feeling hungry & yearn for local food. Yes we found a restaurant & we have a big lady waitress & recommended to us the local dish. We chatted while waiting for our food , finally the food came & of course we ate. Delicious but unfortunately after we had done & paid the bill, my tummy was soo upset that I need to go to the restroom. I had a BIG surprise, there were flies, had never seen so many flies before & flies home is the toilet. It is not a modern toilet but an old one that U need to clear off the waste at the end of the day. Can't U imagine how I felt & I felt like vomitting at that point of time. only Allah knows how I felt at that time. then on I had to remind myself not to have a local food before U check the facilities. So long for the food surprise, time for us to go to the airport before boarding the flight back home. So long Mt Kilimanjaro, so long Lions. lioness, zebra, elephants, giraffe, cheetah. lakes... craters , so long our guides, drivers. It was a lovely adventurous trip that I will never forget.

Why Adventure travel ( Accident day & Serengeti)

It's me again after a long break from posting new stuff, I had met with an accident, first time in my whole driving life, It was so quick & it was so loud . I do not know what to do, by myself & it was fortunate that I was in a familiar surrounding. I wanted to buy pasembur ( mix of vegetables with a gravy) for my parents before both of them left for my hometown. I had frequented the restaurant for many years & the owner knew me , which makes it easier for me to face the situation. This is what I called as another form an adventure. More of the journey of dealing with an accident & what needs to follow next. My advice for me & as for the rest is to keep calm, do not create a scene & take one step at a time. BTW I still felt traumatized even couple of days had gone. OK guess I felt better after I had wrote it down.
The last notes was to move towards Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater. Same as in Masai Mara it is an animal kingdom. By then we are about to get sick on animal. there is no more like ... Wow, Lions,, giraffe, elephant but more of OOh another groups of lions, another groups of zebras... I guess we were tired after the arduous journey of the Kilimanjaroo adventure. Nevertheless the landscape is a bit different from Masai Mara, we continued the journey & had done with it & moving back towards Nairobi, for us to the plane back to home sweet Home , Malaysia..The next posting will be photos. I promise U will get to see me clad in thick jacket at Gillman Points,,,, stay tune.
