Olgiy, Mongolia

Major border delays yesterday- but we finally crossed last night. Now heading to Hovd.

Barabinsk, Russian Federation

Successfully ordered lunch today. Next time we will try to order something to go with the meatball.

Warsaw, Mazovia, Poland

We've stopped for our first non sandwich meal of the trip. Beef Stroganoff all round. Now on to Lithuania and Latvia.

Colditz, Saxony, Germany

escaped! After arriving too late for dinner we rose early to make up for it with a big breakfast before tunnelling our way to freedom. Currently running for the border

Brussels, Belgium

just heading off from a field between Bruges and Brussels. Next stop breakfast and then off to see Paul the octopus.

T-1 and counting

All three of us are now together and in Billingshurst!

 

You may have noticed Neil's new look - that's part of his donation to the charity-raising effort, so remember to s[ponsor us](#mce_temp_url#)!

We've loaded the car and were surprised as to how much we could fit in the wee thing. At the moment the whole trip is still a bit of a hypothetical situation. We think it probably will still feel like 'just another holiday' until after the [Czechout Party](#mce_temp_url#) on day 3. After that, we've got to make it to the Russian border- *that's* when it gets interesting... 

From tomorrow, we've got a new page here on the site - [the Route](#mce_temp_url#). From now, all of our updates will be geo-tagged; that's a fancy way of saying that it'll also come with a pin in our new map. You can see how far behind our schedule we are in real time!

Wish us luck...
