Barnaul, Russian Federation
Welcome to Sibiria. Uneventful, easy border crossing and cruising through sunflower and corn fields. Baltika 7 rules tonight. Apparently snow at Russian-Mongolian border + 2 days of waiting time. Hope they sort the latter out over the weekend...@
Semey, Kazakhstan
Having some well-deserved pivas with some other teams after a 3 hrs drive on a 152km pot hole highway!
Shymkent, Kazakhstan
Bloody difficult to find the UZ/KZ border (had to drive back all the way from Tashkent to Chivoz), but hey - that's life here... Lots of other rallyers on our way; off to Almaty tomorrow - hopefully...
Farab, Turkmenistan
Still with Emma (team Babylonian)... Heading to Uzbekistan tomorrow. Hopefully border procedures will be more efficient than wenn entering TM...@
Tehran, Iran
Hot, hot, hot - but what a great country! Fixed a lunch date with two Iranian families whilst driving on the Expressway, just to bunker 50L of diesel for 2 US$ later on (half of this price was tipping...!). Road tax? Our Krankenwagen just got waved through!!! We love Iran and the people here!
Kapan, Armenia
After a wild clubi night out in Yerevan team frying dutchmen is looking forward to enter Iran tomorrow. In shallah...!

Swimming and sun bathing in the Mediterranian Sea... Off to Istanbul next.
