camping by the side of the Darvaza Gas Crater is definitely an experience we won't forget!
after enduring bureaucratic hell at the Turkmenistan border, we treated ourselves to a stay at the luxury Archabil hotel in Ashgabat.
camping at Alat port hopefully waiting to catch a ferry to Turkmenistan at some point
we spent 2 nights in Tbilisi, enjoying this fascinating city and making several trips to the baths to get cleaned up.
Waiting at the Turkey-Georgia border. It's hot and these queue jumping bus drivers are annoying
Enjoying a delicious breakfast spread after a night of wild camping in the mountains
heading out after 2 days in Istanbul! We met up with Allessandro who lost his phone which we picked up on the first evening, had a drink with some more teams then went to the mechanic yesterday morning. He has sorted us out with a sump guard, welded our exhaust on , fixed our fog lights and lifted the suspension so we are all good to go! The mechanics son took us out for breakfast Yesterday & helped us get on the ferry before we went to the cisterns and the mosques. Today is a 8 hour drive to Cappadocia to hopefully watch the air balloons in the morning!
night 10 of camping, this time in Bulgaria! Onwards to Istanbul today. We decided to try help a fellow team mate who had left their phone in Bulgaria and moved on to turkey but ended up hitting our exhaust in the process so now it rattles a lot! Hopefully some one in Istanbul can hit us up with a sump guard, an exhaust and fix our fog lights!
