Altanbular, Mongolia
We've now spent more time at this border than in France, Luxemburg, Netherlands and Slovakia combined.
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Yes! We made it, the car made it, my luggage didn't.
Making progress
... losing luggage. My bag fell out somewhere in the gobi desert. So I have a small vestimentary issue at the moment.
Khovd, Mongolia
Apparently daihatsus don't float after all. They're tough little bastards though. At this rate, we'll break before the car does.
Made it to the border!
... and met another team.
Barnaul, Russia
 Silly truck, trucks can't swim.
Omsk, Russia
You finally find a camping spot that isn't a swamp, 2 min later a russian family shows up and sets up next to you.
Passed the 10.000km mark
... and we're half a day behind schedule. [gallery]  [/gallery]
Kazan, Russia
Made it after a 14 hr drive with lots of traffic jams. City seems pretty enough but we'll explore tomorrow
Made it to Moscow bitches!
Moscow traffic is hell, and none of these people know how to drive. Makes us fit right in then.
We're here for 2 days so expect lots of touristy updates, with pictures you've seen a million times before.

Cool Earth
We know that saving the rainforest isn’t a new idea. Managing to do it is. Over the last 40 years, half the world’s rainforests have been destroyed. That’s why Cool Earth decided to go about things differently. We don’t create reserves or put up fences. We don’t buy land. Instead, we put indigenous people back in control of the world’s most endangered rainforest. These people have lived in the forest for countless generations. Their homes are now on the frontline of deforestation. They have the most to lose from deforestation. By building better incomes, better schools and better clinics, we give our partner villages the resources they need to keep their forest intact. Cool Earth is now working alongside 113 rainforest villages throughout the world. These partner villages are protecting over 500,000 acres of forest that lie directly in the path of chainsaws and bulldozers. The clever part is that this forest is forming a shield to make the neighbouring forest inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest.
