Barnaul, Russian Federation
Never tell a Russian man that his national football and hockey teams suck and the only Russian sportsperson anyone outside of Russia knows is Andrey Arshavin - they don't like it.

one litre of 'wodka' for £1.20 = Recipe for disaster.

Bukhara Province, Uzbekistan
old town pretty beautiful. Made it out the other side of the desert, was approaching 50 degrees! Chris and Ed went for a km walk which was more effective than jogging in a sauna. Come back to find John has got car stuck in sand. One word - pillock.@

Iran was amazing bar lack of contact. Ashgabat, brilliant architecture, any more compliments would be lies - on to the desert we go!
Göreme, Turkey
Got sorted out in a Turkish bath by Turkish men. Ed had a skinny man who kept slapping him shouting Chelsea. Quad biking around the giant penises was like a wet dream.
Kırklareli Province, Turkey
Bang on some lovely shish kebabs and turkish coffee with our new mate Genghis. Sunny Beach was great yesterday, John not so keen.
Sibiu, Romania

Budapest, Hungary
Chav broke into our car. Only thing he got away with was daylight robbery and our carnet de passage. Luckily Paul Gowen is a top dog and sorted us out sharpish.
