Gobi Dunes

Random British Tourist 
Our guide Khisgee
The tallest dune at the moment in the Gobi desert stands about 660 feet high. This things is a monstrosity. It was also extremely steep. We finally reached the summit- it was an all-fours affair getting there. The rain and wind tried to blow us down the other side but we persisted. The run down took about 2 minutes. The entire tourist camp took shots of vodka to celebrate. It was good, clean fun and a truly memorable Gobi experience, much more so than the slow camel ride from the next morning.
