And we have made it through to Russia!! Onward to the Mongolian border and the home stretch.
Finally on the other side!!
Lunar eclipse at the port in Alat. Pretty perfect!
Any teams nearby? We are setting up here for the night.
Recovered (mostly) from last nights party and pushing for the Turkish border today.
Schweet campsite by the river. I think it's free too!
Lessons from the road - peanut butter in your 2 minute noodles results in a cheap mans satay.
And just like that, we are legging it across Belgium.
Team This is Gonna Yurt have arrived in the UK!!
Only 17 more weeks, but who's counting?

This is Gonna Yurt
The team: This is Gonna Yurt The method: Mongol Rally. Our team is scavenging for a wreck of a car from the other side of the world costing only our pocket change and driving it from England to Mongolia in a charity rally to support the worthy cause of Cool Earth. The funds: Any funds raised on this page will go towards getting our team to the start and finish line of the Mongol Rally. This includes things like team flights, the repairs of our rusty bucket car that ducktape cant fix, the numerous visas, and a GPS tracking device so you can follow us live from our team page here: https://blogging.theadventurists.com/map/mongolrally2018/team/this-is-gonna-yurt.
