nearly at germany. Flo is devouring these roads. Too easy. Have worked out it will have taken us 120 hours to get back to amsterdam from mongolia, of which 113 have been non stop.
Mazovia, Poland
Stopping, however, did the exact opposite of cooling the engine as the noise became significantly louder when we did so, to the extent where people at the nearby restaurant who were eating outside on the terrace moved inside. We thought this could be solved with more coolant, so Harry picked us the first blue liquid he saw and poured screen wash into the cooling system. We thought that this was probably not good for the engine thus made ** some text is missing **
Podlachia, Poland
Car completely died at a petrol station, looks like we're flying home. Or we would be if we were total pussies; today has been awesome. Started off breaking down at the Latvian border with Russia at midnight, had to push it through the gates with the engine screaming for no reason apparant to us. Once through our lack of sleep and the illegality of having only a single license plate caught up with us resulting in a $40 fine and 6 hours of waiting. However, leaving lights on for this long totally drained the battery, luckily some friendly Romanians gave us a jump and we were on our way. After a very eerie drive through misty Latvia in the morning the car seemed fine, starting normally on the ignition. Until we reach a set of suspiciously long traffic lights at a lengthy set of roadworks in Lithuania where Edd stalled and Flo refused to start resulting in a series of push-starts along a dirt track between tempory traffic lights which included driving in circles while waiting to keep air flowing into the radiator which was definitely far ** some text is missing **

Car is now completely fine, Flo is running like a dream. Going to stop in Kaunas for some lunch when we get there.

blog update: bobby now fully stinky. Farting, burping the most awful smell and general body smell. If needs disinfectant/a sheep dip
Province of Nizhny Novgorod, Russian Federation
At 4am this morning we were pulled over for only having one licence plate. After having negotiated to a very reasonable 100 rubles all we could actually give them was 80 rubles a dollar and 3 moldovan lei, they laughed and gave it back, sending us on our way scot-free.
РеÑпублика реÑпублика ТатарÑтан, Russian Federation
About 90 or so hours of continuous driving including a man from Ufa getting in our car and giving us personal directions to Moscow.
Province of Sverdlovsk, Russian Federation
