We drove all night last night and slept for 2 hours inside our tiny car Tahki Butter.

After our rear suspension got fixed yesterday the ride was much smoother, despite sometimes the car fishtailed and lost control of the rear due to taller and bigger suspension springs.

We met another Mongol Rally Team La Vaca Loca (Mad Cow) at another river crossing. This time the river is very wide and deep we hired a local to tow us across.

Then we came to this infinite vast grasslands where you made up your own road. I have never felt so Genghis Khan in my life!  One of the most pleasant parts of these long driving days is how the grass in the Mongolian Steppes smells like a sweet basil; some of the best air on the planet.

We drove until we were super tired until midnight. And we slept in our tent from 12-4 am.
