Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
ULAANBAATAR!!!!! We've finally made it!...Oh wait the rally finish line closes at 6pm? Looks like we're rallying for one more day.
Övörkhangai, Mongolia
Just passed the final Mongolian checkpoint. Now in the 400km tarmac road to UB. HOME STRETCH BABY!!!!
Bayanhongor, Mongolia
Just did our first giant river crossing. Suzi is officially amphibious!
, Altai Mountains
Had ourselves a luxurious(ish) hotel for he night. Turned up at the 'Mongol Rally auto service' in the morning to find another 12 cars and Suzi's looking like she's in mint condition compared to these other cars.@
Khovd, Mongolia
Two days into Mongolia and it is absolutely amazing. As sceneries go, you couldn't get better. And river crossings...so much fun!!!
Khövsgöl, Mongolia
Day 3 at the Mongolian border, these people just font like paperwork. Can't blame them when there's 30 odd Mongol rally cars waiting.
Gorno-Altaysk, Russia
Camping next to the Altay river with the start to the Altay region in the background. Scenery just couldn't get better.
Barnaul, Russia
Made it back into Russia and avoided the border control finding out we we're illegal immigrants (long story, will be explained in blog). A victory Subway and a load of supplies ready for Mongolia!!!
Semey, Kazakhstan
Yet another spot of bad luck. Hit a ruddy big pot hole and damaged our alloy wheel. Then the locking nut snapped trying to get it off. 80 miles with a bent wheel on bad roads we've made it to Semey and have had to weld the nut out. Many thanks to the Friendly Kazakhs once again.
Almaty, Kazakhstan
80km from Almaty we discover that ANOTHER wheel bearing has gone. After 30hrs on the road we're here and got the car fixed for free!!!
