Bikes-into-train action was worth an episode. As I’ve already mentioned, first of all, there was no place for them in the train; second of all, we would have to join Chinese packs, sacks, bags, furniture and other goods for export in the queue already at 6AM to get to the weighing-machine.
Luckily, we had our Mongolian friends here, so we succeed to avoid the line, the only thing we had to do – just! – to put about 300 kilos heavy bikes on two meters high platform. At first, we didn’t believe it would be real, however, with a little help of fifteen Mongolian men our bikes got into train, together with the most popular branded goods. At 10PM motorcycles were about to head to the capital. All the procedure took us $200. Ourselves, we took comfy seats in the carriage that is supposed to carry us to Ulaanbaatar. Goodbye, Zamiin Uud!
