Out in the middle of the gobi desert limping our way to Altay. We have no brakes, no spare tyres after shredding them, and badly damaged rear suspension. Luckily the stereo still works :)@

arrived in turkmenistan after a 36 hour ride in a soviet era ferry. Conditions were...interesting and the ferry ran out of everything (including water) except vodka mid way through the trip. Currently waiting in a customs bay and hoping to get underway today. The joys of the mongol rally :)

Had an impromptu scuba lesson at our camp this morning. Woke up to find sleeping mats were floating inside the tent and beer bottles and watermelon submerged outside. Isn't turkey meant to be hot and dry in summer?

sitting at the bulgaria/turkey border for the last hour and the line hasnt moved. Could be a long day. Met some friends in Romania yesterday who showed us around bucharest. Was great to see them and a shame to have to leave after only a few hours. Camp last night was full of drunken bulgarians having a great time and then full of arguing, hungover bulgarians this morning :)

I am also an Aussie living in Edinburgh, Scotland and love it here. I love seeing new places and enjoying whatever crazy adventure I do to the max! I am really looking forward to this mad adventure, it will be something to put on my CV! Though I am not sure how relevant this will be for the primary schools in which I teach...

I am yet another Australian living in the UK, currently in Glasgow Scotland. I am feeling like it is time for an adventure. As much as I love my job as an IT consultant I think there needs to be some adventure in my life. I imagine that getting chased by bandits halfway across Kyrgyzstan may change my mind about this but im hoping to find out for sure!
