The End

by chrisch of Not Yet a Triumph

Well, the car is now officially handed over now to the lovely people at CPDF in Ulan Baatar, and it is being worked by their mechanic as I type. Thanks to all of those that have supported us on this adventure, we couldn't have done it without you.

We have booked flights for Saturday, so until then we plan to be proper tourists for the next few days - no more driving! I'm looking forward to the luxuries of home and a car with working shock absorbers.

Thanks all.

300km left to Astana. Got lost in Qostanay but a kind local led us out at high speed in his Mercedes. Great roads & no police fines in Kaz yet!
