Barnaul, Russian Federation
Welcome to Sibiria. Uneventful, easy border crossing and cruising through sunflower and corn fields. Baltika 7 rules tonight. Apparently snow at Russian-Mongolian border + 2 days of waiting time. Hope they sort the latter out over the weekend...@
Semey, Kazakhstan
Having some well-deserved pivas with some other teams after a 3 hrs drive on a 152km pot hole highway!
Shymkent, Kazakhstan
Bloody difficult to find the UZ/KZ border (had to drive back all the way from Tashkent to Chivoz), but hey - that's life here... Lots of other rallyers on our way; off to Almaty tomorrow - hopefully...
Farab, Turkmenistan
Still with Emma (team Babylonian)... Heading to Uzbekistan tomorrow. Hopefully border procedures will be more efficient than wenn entering TM...@
Tehran, Iran
Hot, hot, hot - but what a great country! Fixed a lunch date with two Iranian families whilst driving on the Expressway, just to bunker 50L of diesel for 2 US$ later on (half of this price was tipping...!). Road tax? Our Krankenwagen just got waved through!!! We love Iran and the people here!
Kapan, Armenia
After a wild clubi night out in Yerevan team frying dutchmen is looking forward to enter Iran tomorrow. In shallah...!
Trabzon, Turkey
gorgeous Black Sea coast, ran into various teams today, out camping tonight - fixed the car, she's running well again - Georgia is next
East Macedonia, Greece
Swimming and sun bathing in the Mediterranian Sea... Off to Istanbul next.
fund raiser
And for the grand finale, a big ol' fund raiser will go down at Dukes Hotel in London on July 13. Packed with auction items, great food and lots of drinks, this event will generate the last funds needed for the vehicle and charity! Thank you to all the generous people and companies.
