| 15 weeks 22 hours ago | We've finally made it to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia! Unfortunately the taxi didn't. Our beloved taxi is sitting in the vehicle graveyard in Altanbulag. Hopefully the vehicles will be brought through in the next month or so, but it's still incredibly annoying. We jumped in the ambulance which made it through (exemption on medical vehicles) and made it through ourselves. Have been spending lots of time with Enktabar and his staff out here, seeing the CDPF work that's going on. Anyway - a largely successful journey, and ridiculously good fun. Love to all Nick | |
| 15 weeks 3 days ago | Well we are 300 km from ulaanbaatar and its all over for me nick and the taxi. We stayed up til 4 am last night and spent 250 us dees fixing her but the god dam mongolians won't let us across the border unless we pay 2000 dollars customs duty. Not an option so we ve left her in the rally car grave yard. Hopefully she'll get clearance by the end of the month. | |
| 15 weeks 4 days ago | heading to the mongol border tonight, hopefully get thru tomorrow. Just took the taxi for a wash, hopefully will impress the border guards. No breakdowns! |
