Thanks and kudos to AQL for the SMS to email service that made this possible!

Here are the latest blogs from all the teams on the rally. Only teams that have included location data in their blogs appear on the map, and their location is the last one we know about; having said that, we do try to add their location if they mention where they are!

Addendum
with map coords by Aneel Nazareth of I Meant To Do That

Just when you think you're done...

A word to the wise: If you bring a car into a country, have documentation about that when you leave the country, even (especially!) if the car isn't leaving the country with you. This was something I was wondering about a bit when I turned over all of the car-related paperwork to Go Help. I should have wondered a bit more and at least gotten copies of everything, just to be sure.

The train from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing stops at a little town called Zamyn Uud just before crossing the border. A border patrol agent comes along the train and picks up everyone's passports, and a customs agent comes along and picks up everyone's customs declarations.  read more »

Just had goulash at a wee local cafe, complete with local drunk - the woman locked him out of the room! Heading into the national park for the day now - bit of a rest day!

Our poor van has taken a pounding today. The roads are full of potholes. A Canadian motorcyclist from edmonton camped with us last night, lovely guy. He might camp with us again tonight- we shared our hot food so he's keen to find us again! The temp has dropped a lot today, into woolly hats!

The train has gone. Next one isn't until Sunday. Going to try to catch a bus or car to Beijing instead. Quincy, can you contact Gumbo and tell him I've been delayed and to not expect me? Thanks
