Karaganda, Kazakhstan
With our convoy of boys again! Celebratory pints turned into vodka shots with random Kazakhs and 3 am road hockey. Tonight: Russia.
Shu, Kazakhstan
Spent the night in a watermelon field. The farmer showed up this am and tried to help us repair our fuze box then gave us a melon for the road. His helper gave us his number. We are now the proud owners of boys' numbers from Georgia to KZ...potential husbands abound in Central Asia!
Korday, Kazakhstan
Balaklava-clad Kazakh soldiers beat back the crowd and we finally got our car into Kazakhstan. Most intense border crossing so far.
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
Great night out in Bishkek! Going shopping at an old Soviet favorite then heading to Kazakhstan...for which we have no map. We may not make it to Russia simply by following our instincts!!
Andijan, Uzbekistan
Stranded in Andijon for the night - with no beer! - after failing to find the border crossing. Great tour of silk factory in Margilan though!
Samarkand, Uzbekistan
Slow start due to nasty case of food poisoning. Headed to Tashkent tonight. We're going to Fergana valley & hoping there's gas!
Tbilisi, Georgia
Great last night in Tbilisi - drank 140 proof chacha with friendly Georgians. Today David Garedzha + winery tour.
Tbilisi, Georgia
We're staying @ VIP hotel in Old Town which has parking and A/C! Any other teams in town tonight?
, Zhinvali Hydroelectric Power Plant, Georgia
Camped by lovely Aragvi river and drank local unfiltered beer. Discovered we'd missed a 1 hr time change so now rushing to get to embassy!
Gori, Georgia
Chillaxin' in Stalin's hometown. This afternoon we take on the Georgian military highway to the Russian border!
