I am traveling to the Great Khan with my father and uncle, to bring back the gifts that they had promised. We crossed the Taklamakan Desert on our way to Cambaluc, where the Great Khan resides.
We have almost finished crossing the Gobi Desert, a vast expanse of sand and mountains and valleys. It is void of life, with nothing growing, and nothing to eat. Traveling over the desert is an arduous task to take on. It is so long it would take a whole year for one to cross it from end to end, and even at the narrowest point, it would take a month. We used camels for most of the journey.
