Off to the Gobi desert

It was a bus, plane, and wild ride thru the desert in a SUV.

Bumper to bumper traffic in Ulaanbaatar any time of the day. One hour drive to get to old airport.

A Cessna Caravan 9 seat airplane took us on a 2 hour bumpy flight to
the Gobi Desert.

Very slow130 mph cruise in very choppy turbulent air. 4 of the 6 travelers got 🤢 sick.

4 of the 6 of us are hiding their airsick bags

Very bumpy and fast one hour drive thru the Gobi Desert to Three Camel Lodge.

Our reward! Great selection of wine and bourbon

forecast for worse winds on return date had Viking scrambling, charter company might cancel. We are returning to Ulaanbaatar on commercial flight RJ jet(faster and flies higher). They only fly 3 times a week , we got lucky.,. So far . Other option was 10 hour ride in suv over gravel roads

I enjoyed the bumpy ride🤣
