| 48 weeks 3 days ago | We got to the Mongolia border at 18:30 on the 29th. It was shut. So we camped and played frisbee in the DMZ next to the border. Got through with little trouble and took 4 Slovaks with us. The Skoda really struggled up a mountain with the extra weight but she made it, although a bit worse for wear. | 0 | |

| 51 weeks 21 hours ago | Spent 4 hours at Russian border so we have only just arrived in Volgograd. Nowhere along the way took dollars or cards so we had to sleep in the car. Woke up in a herd of cows. Might stay here a few days and see the sights. Just paid off the police, only $10! | 0 | |
