Aaaaaaaaand we did it!!! Breakfast g&ts now back on the road with the ulan dudes for the drive home!

Just struggling through ulaanbaator traffic to where a bed and the first shower in 5 days awaits!

Having a sick day off roading despite having punctured a tyre and broken a front spring already. Mongolia is beautiful. 

Made it to Mongolia! Only the next 2000km to go. Camped near a beautiful lake last night and treated ourselves to cider. 

managed to find a hotel for the night after a lot of help from google translate as we wanted to treat ourselves to our first shower since Kyrgyzstan and Tj needs to wash the dread out of her hair. Luke has described the shower as sensational. He isn't wrong.

Made it over the border last night and camped off a little track just over the border. Just as Tj got up in the morning three scary looking russians pulled up in their car.. They showed her pictures of their daughters and funny youtube videos until Luke woke up and we needed to leave. We made it to Barnaul and faffed around getting a local sim and attempting to find pans - having realised yesterday that the first casualty of our broken passenger window had been our cooking bag. Luckily there was nothing really important in there but it was surprisingly hard to find anywhere selling cooking equipment in Barnaul

Beautiful sunset and last night with the convoy last night now pushing to the Russian border today

After a night in Almaty that got out of hand we abandoned today's plans to push through Kazakhstan. We explored a ski resort just south of Almaty and are heading to some lakeside camping now

We drove over 1000km yesterday from Murghab to Bishkek so one of Wendy the Wagon could get his Mongolian visa today. It was a long drive but we went through some beautiful valleys and one of the policemen who stopped us disliked Tj so much he bribed her £10 English pounds to get back into the car.
