The weather is getting there and the little trips outside de city too!
This time we headed to Zuunmod, the capital f the Tuv aimag, to visit the Manzshir monastery, or the ruins of it.
We packed ourselves in a microbus, arrived to the Zuunmod, which by the way is a beautiful little city, impressively clean and organised... wondered around, spend some time at the museum... We then tried to find someone who could bring us to the ruins of the monastery. This couple brought us there in their amasing 4x4...
The manzshir... is still gets me that Russian destroyed everything they could this place is beautiful, the location is amasing and the view impressive. You can still see the foundations of what it was but there's nothing left except a few walls. We wondered around, had some food, enjoyed the sunshine and headed back to UB. And to congratulate ourselves for such an effort (not), we ended up having a nice cold beer in the most kitsch place i've seen, the garden lodge, where the window were covered with fake grass!
