Fishing and hammock

I always wonder where does the lady of the house goes early morning. This morning, rather then sitting inside waiting for our next activity, I decided to take a stroll outside myself and there she is, milking cows! I watched how she effortlessly milking the cow and when she felt that the volume decreases, she just look at her husband. The husband would then releases a calf and it will milk from i guess her mother cow. Erbolat would then pull the cow back and his wife will then continue milking and you can see immediately how fast the milk flows. I told Erbolat tomorrow I want to try it and he nodded with a Mel Gibson smile.

Last night the crazy Noli told us how she wanted to carry a kid and this morning she got her wish. Erbolat kindly brought us and let us choose..Noli, i guess being married to an Irish, chose a white kid for a photo session with her 😝

We then got into the goat pen and played and took photos with the goats (we haven't showered for few days now and what the hell, additional goat smell won't do us any harm 😀). It was a small goat pen but when it was time to release the goats for their normal grass grazing time, we were just amazed to see how many were they...try counting them here..

Fishing 

Uncle Musa then brought us to try fishing at Khovd river. Water was crystal clear but too shallow as the river is starting to get frozen as winter is coming. Tried casting for almost half and hour but we ended up spending time watching in awe the beautiful Mongolia landscape and as usual taking obligatory photos 😀

 Happy feet

 Left alone to fish

 Let's picnic here instead

Hammock

Failing to get any fish and not able to stand in the minus temperature anymore, we decided to head home instead.

At home, I decided to call Erbolat and his family out. As their family was so kind to us, I guess there is no harm giving them my precious hammock so that the kids can enjoy playing with them and Erbolat himself can use it when doing his nomadic duties. Guess what, when I show him the hammock and told him that I am giving it to him, his first question was can it fit in his wife and himself..salute!

 Err which one is Mongolian Kazakh?

All in all it was a very fun session and we even 'forced' the gradma to try it..she was laughing hard until she felt dizzy..am not sure whether dizzy due to the hammock or listening to Noli's loud laugh 😆...p/s: Kazakh ladies controlled their laughter to ensure its not loud, something which is not polite in their culture..but of course Noli gelak macam pontianak and they are fine with it 😂😂😂

Next - i have a nomadic family 👏😀
