Gobi Clint Gobi
by Chris 'Smiler' Pacey on 27 Jul 2012 at 00:17 Hi folks, we are currently in Altai, just stopped off for cash and fuel after spending the night in the middle of the central Gobi desert, what a beautiful place to stay, the mountains in this area are amazing, the roads in Mongolia are shocking, far worse than we expected, both sets of front brakes went yesterday and Chris had to do the best he could to repair them, we got airborne several times yesterday as well, poor Clint, he drove all the way across Europe, Russia, Siberia with no issues, now he is getting hammered. This morning we were woken by the sounds of an Eagle mooching about on top of the Ambulance, when we first started seeing them in Russia we were amazed, now it's an everyday sight and there are loads of them! Well we must push on to our next destination, we have already had some guy with a dodgy looking glove on his hand and blood all over his face leaning in the car, no idea what was wrong with him but sadly can't help him as we can't speak the language. Will try and blog from the next town whenever we get there, love from the Gobi xxx
