Mongoliet
Jeg kender ikke Mongoliet, og jeg forstår det heller ikke. Tyve dage var ikke længe nok til at forstå og kende det. Jeg kunne skrive om bjergpasset der var så stejlt, at vi måtte tage det meste af bagagen af, og løbe ved siden af maskinerne, op og ned flere gange, før alle tingene var helt oppe. Jeg kunne skrive om den morgen en jæger-nomade kom på besøg med en jagtfalk på armen; eller dengang forgaflen knækkede midt ude i ørkenen; eller da motorcyklerne druknede ude i floden. Jeg kunne have skrevet om da vi for 300 kilometer vild og blev fanget i Mørkets Døde Dal, og hvordan vi måtte spise skærebrænderristede døde rotter, inklusive rå rottenosser, for at komme ud derfra.
Men det føles ikke rigtigt at skrive om det endnu. Det hele er for bizart, for hårdt og for mærkeligt. Jeg skal have mere tid at bearbejde det her, så det bliver gemt til den bibel jeg skriver, hvis jeg kommer hjem igen. Jeg vil hellere lægge nogle billeder ud og lade jer selv forstille jer hvordan det var.
I do not know Mongolia, nor do I understand it. 20 days was not enough to understand and know it. I could write about the mountain pass, so steep that we had to take off most of the luggage, and run beside the bikes, up and down several times till all the things were on the top. I could write about the morning the nomad came to see us with a hunting eagle on his arm; or the time the fork the broke in the middle of the desert, or when the bikes drowned in the river. I could have written about when we got lost with 300 kilometers and were trapped in the dark valley of death, and how we had to eat torch burner-burnt rats, including raw testicles in order to get up.
But it doesn’t feel right to write about it yet. All was too bizarre, too hard and too strange. I need some more time before I can process the material, so it’ll be saved for the bible I’ll write if I get home. I rather just post some pictures and let you imagine what it was like.
Netop ankommet udenfor Ulan Bator. Vores øjne havde set Himmerige et par gange før vi nåede dertil.
Outside Ulan Bator, just arriving. Our eyes had seen the glory of the coming of the lord a few times at the time we made it to UB.
Vi mødte nogle franskmænd ude i ørkenen, som kørte et løb gennem Gobi til Beijing, i gamle 2CV'er. Så tro det eller ej, der er folk derude, der er værre end os. Nå, fine folk med den rette holdning, jeg kan li' den ånd.
We met some french guys in the desert, they were running a race through the Gobi to Beijing, with old 2CV's. There's people out there, way worse than us, believe it or not. However, great guys with great attitude, I liked their spirit
Out in Mongolian else
On the way down to The Dark Valley Of Death, stigma diabolica on the mongo-map.
