We woke up this morning and headed for the border, about ten km from the border our throttle cable broke completely. After a bit of bodging the gun had to be driven using a piece of string through the window to accelerate. We went to the wrong border town first and then back to the correct border. We got through to the mongolian side to find we also couldnt get through and parked up with the rest of the rally cars. We got a lift with a local women who has been sorting out ralliers, she insisted we eat at her house and is acompanying up to UB. We ate at her house and got through two bottles of vodka chatting to a couple of border guards who are jumping in with us on the trip to ulaan bataar. Weve made it.
