The 220km journey from Olgii to Khovd took 9 hours, including four river crossings (which were more than my Slovenian freezer bags could cope with). There were times when I seriously thought I was on the wrong track, I couldn't believe I was on the main road to anywhere, but I asked every Mongol herdsman I came across (I came across 3) and they confirmed I was going the right way.
