Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
We have arrived, the Kalos took every challenge thrown at her like a champ! Ready for some dinner and lots of beers. Vlads on tour signing off.
Govi-Altai, Mongolia
Roads are shocking! Exhaust fell off, got it welded, fell off 50 miles later. Popped tyre on lovely small section of Tarmac road. Nice lunch of pancakes. Petrol tank got a nice hole in the bottom, petrol going everywhere. Going to fix it with chewing gum and some socks.
Khuvsgul, Mongolia
We have made it to the promised land! Currently sitting at the border whilst Marcus is cavity searched. Myself and jack are sitting in the car trying to drown out the harrowing screams with music. Roads have taken a turn for the worse but we're keen to start testing out our rally skills. Ulaanbaatar awaits!
Omsk Oblast, Russia
Taken in by a very generous Russian who took us back to his log cabin and fed us copious amounts of vodka and ended up tucking jack into bed. Offered sexual favours by a lovely Russian lady and her spetznaz companion this morning. Currently searching for a hotel for the night. Mossies have taken at least 3 litres of our blood each so far. We can smell monglia, though it might just be Marcus.
Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia
Food stockpiles have been replenished, mainly with chocolate croissants. First flat tyre yesterday, got Goldie to help us fix it. Nice night camping and a hearty meal awaits. Vlads on tour.
Volgograd Oblast, Russia
3 car convoy through the motherland is going well, should really pick up a map soon though. Cracking night with the mafia last night. Only one more border and a silly number of miles to victory!
Odesa, Ukraine
Slow day of many borders. The Ukrainians loved our totem pole mascot Fred though. Marcus had an unfortunate fully clothed toilet mishap this morning and some interesting rattles have developed. Tried to camp in a little village but were chased off by three rabid dogs, have settled for a lay by. Beans are on for dinner, spirits are high!
Brăila, Romania
Nice couple of days in Bulgaria with a highly unfortunate fine for public urination. Nice camping spot with the dragonflies in Romania tonight. Ukraine tomorrow!
Varna, Bulgaria
Lost all of our money in the casino, pretty sure it's rigged. We may be living off the bare minimum for a while.
Istanbul, Turkey
Tried to camp in Bulgaria but the mountains foiled us so we had settle with canned bolognese on the side of the road before sleeping in the car. Cheeky death run to a McDonald's yesterday and a good night in instanbul last night. The car is still magnifique, sprits are high!
