From Russia With No Love. Sad to say it but Russia sucks. So much that we pulled an all nighter and drove 27 hrs straight to get out sooner (plus no would give us a hotel room despite vacancies!).@

Just left Trabson, been driving lots last few days trying to make it close to the Iranian border with the aim of crossing it tomorrow morning. All good.
Zonguldak, Turkey
Had a bump with lorry the other day, low speed at lights. although Suzuki Swift completely unscathed. Bulgarian Lorry 0 - Suzuki Swift 1! Officially made it to Asia yesterday as we made it past Istanbul and headed back to Black Sea. Seem to be getting lost in beautiful mountain roads regularly. Turkey is beautiful and chaos....the mayhem of Asia has begun! Trying to push through the mountains to get in striking distance to Iranian border for thursday.
Dereköy, Turkey
Camped on a quiet beach last night, soon turned into Romania's answer to Ibiza, no melody just bass line equals no sleep. Blitzed through Bulgaria and just got through the Turkey border, on the lookout for a spa, campsite will do.
After surviving Rickshaw Run 2010 and all it's dramas....time to up the ante.....
