On day 3 of the trip we started to drive north again from the desert and went to look at the sand dunes at Khongoryn Els. They were really spectacular but bloody hard work trying to climb up it, every time you take a step you just sink back down again, then half up the winds got really high and I couldn't see a thing.

In the evening we arranged to go for a camel trek around the dunes.
