We arrived finally at 7 pm and our yurt is quite spacious with two large beds and nice decor but no bathroom or shower as do some. We have some rocky stairs to get down and then a nearby building with four steep stairs for our night time ablutions. We have some tentative thoughts that the grass might appeal in the middle of the night. Dinner was held in a central large building and was adequate. It was same as our lunch and was beef and rice and broccoli preceded by coleslaw. Ice cream dessert. Once again we wonder “what were we thinking”. Glad I brought a little flashlight. 
The night time wasn’t as difficult as expected. The yurt remained pleasantly cool not freezing cold. It was lit outside with bright light so trips to the bathroom weren’t as intimidating as anticipated but I used walking poles for the stairs which were concrete and irregular. And I used my down jacket over my nightgown. There were barking dogs during the night and who knows why. This  a m we visit a Mongolian family. 
Back to the train later for our last night on the train. Tomorrow a Chinese train. 
Later.    
Went to see the yurt family home this a m  and tried some delicacies. Some hard squares of pastry and some cheese made from cow’s milk. It was followed by mare’s milk, fermented. Apparently this causes lots of problems in Mongolia with liver cancer due to the alcoholism. Weather quite mild and I didn’t need my down wear.
