Khovd, Mongolia

Loving mongolia, weather is fantastic, setting is perfect.... Punto is doing ok, except for the two tyers down. Lost two cars from the convoy, but gained an ambulance... Just going to eat some lunch, fill up the tank and hit the road again... @

Please excuse the last update, it was done by tiger nick... We have convoyed up and moved southwards. We had our first car related casualty today, the rear exhaust box has fallen off... This has not affected performance, just sounds like a finely tuned subaru imprezza growling away. Perfect.@

Another smooth border crossing out of russia yesterday. Three things we're learnt from russia, your never to far from a fruit vender, the car in front is probably a lada and the word brewski is legit.@

Another boarder down, it was a fairly simple one actually, the only thing the guard took off us was a frisbee after jim had bartered him down from 100 dollars. Now on our way to Volgograd.@

Odesa, Ukraine

Had a great stay at baz's moldovan mansion, but woke with the birds this morning to make up some ground. Crossed two borders already - some easy, others made easier by leaving a 'gift' in the guards hat. They can see us coming a mile off!
