I’m sharing an internal joke. Last year my eldest melted down on me about the trip. Her key worry was of being stuck in a sh**hole in the middle of nowhere with no ticket out.
Fast forward to today, our last stop after being on the Mongolian ‘roads’ for 15 days and before returning to Ulaan Bataar. We have overnighted in a comfortable and very clean family ger. The outhouse is the usual long drop.
It’s time for departure and the younger 2 go for the last pee before hitting the ‘road’. There is a nail on the outside of the toilet which serves to lock the door to prevent it from swinging in the wind. Wind is a constant in Mongolia. Skye inadvertently locks Willow in the long drop by pushing the nail too far in which makes it impossible to pull out. Willow is quite literally stuck in a sh**hole in the middle of nowhere.
A broken broom head lying beside the toilet saves the day. Willow is able to push the nail back out.
FREEDOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!! Amazingly we are still a family of 5 continuing the adventure.
