June 13 Datong to Erenhot (Inner Mongolia)



Another very long drive punctuated by a trip to a Hanging Monastery and the traffic jam from hell. A large part of the drive is through Torrential Rain which at one stage is so bad we just have to stop as we have no visibility at all. In total 600km plus and climbing to  5,000ft.
Sadly 2  cars are already out with terminal problems with a third Bentley having done wheel bearings and it seems he can only keep going if he flies in a replacement wheel, hopefully he will.
This is the land of Dinosaurs, reputedly where you find the most dinosaur bones and fossils and so they show this  with their famous Erenhot gate.










Tomorrow the fun starts.
