Altai Republic, Russia

We are still at the border, and the guards have gone for lunch. Damn bureaucracy.

Looks like another long wait at this border. They're letting in four cars at a time.

A car just crashed by our camp - a Russian local. We have phoned emergency services and hopefully they'll be here soon. One guy is

We're camping with three other teams by the river. It's a festival atmosphere but we hope to cross tomorrow!

Biysk, Russia

Went to a 49 year-old's birthday party and got very, very drunk. Camping by a big river. Drunk.

No way we'll make the border today, so we'll have another night camping in Russia. Mongolia tomorrow, then. Maybe.

A helpful local guy has brought us to what could be described as a hotel. Tomorrow - Mongolia! We hope.

We're heading for the border, and sad to be leaving Kazakhstan. A truly lovely country (except the roads).

Mullets and Ladas are fashionable here. Is this a Micra or a DeLorean?

After two days wandering in the wilderness since Astana, we've reached civilisation. The roads have been awful.
