Dreamprince  Djenghis Khan's real name is Batar (Nicole and Ingrid have been phantasaying about it) and his mule calls Batu.  Batar and Batu guide our two friends, together with the donkey-tray, all the way to the Mongolian border.  They're almost there, in Ereennoor, another 66 kilometers to go, according Batu's counter...

When Nicole and Ingrid arrive at the pre-arranged spot to meet their guide, some 50 trays and mules were awaiting them. "What a surprise when they called out our name", Nicole laughs.  "The story of our world trip had appeared in the local newspaper and the editorial office had placed an announcement  They were looking for candidats to guide us to the border.  We never expected to see so many volunteers !  We felt like a committee of inspection : men showed us their donkeys, the donkeys' set of theeth, their hoofs.  Next they showed us the solidity of the trays.  

The trays of the fruit-sellers loaded with apples were a real attraction ! Apples flew all over the place; the drivers were so enthusiast !  Their women were less happy with it. They had to fell back into the ranks.  Ultimately we found our 'hero', a 60 year old man, Batar. Batu, the donkey, well, that's another story.  Our camping material, our food provisions and we were too heavy for the old donkey.  There was nothing left to do than to walk beside the tray....Batar and Batu made a lot of roundabouts and paid visits to their relatives.  We hope to arrive (this year !) at the border with Mongolia......
