| 16 weeks 5 days ago | Swimming! Just had an afternoon of chilling on a beach with the remaining group of the convoy near balkash on the big lake in the middle of khazhakstan. Said goodbye to the mongol warriors and lance yesterday. Was nice to be able to have the afternoon off driving today. Planning on hitting semy next. H&C | |
| 17 weeks 1 day ago | Now in astana very rough roads lead us in though great fun unfortunately they lead to our previously cracked leaf springs on the front to split and finally snap we have already seen a toyta garage nearby to hopefully fit two new springs and get it on a ramp to check the remaining leaves for splitting. We miss you all certainly becoming more of an adventure the further we go but loving every challenge x | |
| 17 weeks 6 days ago | Eventful day! After a wonderful nights sleep the convoy prepared themselves for the next leg. Having driven no more than a mile through the city, the hilux started missfireing. After 2 hours spent after the bonnet we were forced 2 take her 2 a garage were after a further hour it problem of loose connections in the spark plugs had been fixed by the very welcoming locals. And how greatful chris and i were! Now relieved we are on the way to atobe. Just passed a road sign that says in perfect english 'good luck!' road not to bad at the moment, we shall see what is to come! All the best C & H x | |
