Semey
Who says it doesn't rain in summer in Kazahkstan - liar! Got caught in 2 big storms. Camped at two lakes - very beautiful.
We have reached Semey, just before the Rusian border, getting ready for the final push - Ulaanbaatar here we come!Â
Samarkand
Good sleep, about to set off to explore the city
Istandbul
Chaos at the Turkmen embassy - one counter,no queues, forced a rare case of South African and New Zealand rugby co-operation,we formed a scrum around the counter and did not move until all nine of us had handed in our visas.
Igoumenitsa,Greece
Awesome Seafood
Venice...
Venice....such a stunning place! As usual we left needing stuff for the car for the last minute. Who knew car rims for a Nissan Micr would be like finding a needle in a haystack. The guys at Bottan Nissan really came through for us! Excellent service and some funny results using Google translate to communicate.
 Walking through the streets of Venice we stumbled across a cool bar - Bacarro Jazz. The ceiling is covered in bra's donated by highly appreciative female patrons after a night of dabauchery lol. I highly recommend the Sex & Sax - a wicked cocktail mixed by a friendly bbartende
Until we meet again......

Great food

Kevin Duke is an attorney who loves off beat adventures and travel, especially if it is for a good cause. He was a champion scooter driver when he was four and therefore is probably the more skilled driver of his teammates, however his map reading skills are crap and his mechanical skills are non-existent. His lawyer negotiation skills will be useful in negotiating tricky traffic situations. Perfectly suited for this epic adventure.
