Looking back on a hard but rewarding day over a cup of hot chocolate. Bliss.

rough roads today with crazy corrugations, so it was a tough drive. 68km outside of Altay and enjoying the sunset.
Zereg, Mongolia
managed to change a flat tyre and were back on the move

Here's the thing....
There I was at a work conference talking over a few beers with my CEO and I asked him if I risked life and limb by driving an old banger of a car painted up to look like a Zebra from London, England to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia would he donate a bucket load of cash to some good causes?.....to my surprise he said yes; now the only problem is I have to do it!
