| 13 weeks 2 days ago | Well, the car is now officially handed over now to the lovely people at CPDF in Ulan Baatar, and it is being worked by their mechanic as I type. Thanks to all of those that have supported us on this adventure, we couldn't have done it without you. We have booked flights for Saturday, so until then we plan to be proper tourists for the next few days - no more driving! I'm looking forward to the luxuries of home and a car with working shock absorbers. Thanks all. | |
| 13 weeks 4 days ago | Finally reached UlanBaatar!!! Car is knackered (but fixable). Flights to Berlin as soon as we can book them - this last week was very tough. | |
| 13 weeks 6 days ago | Just outside Bayan Khongor, about 150km away from tarmac now, but roofrack is knackered - getting welded tomorrow. UB on Mon or Tue hopefully! | |
