in BAKU! now have possilbly a 4 day wait for a ferry- maybe longer.. have had fun collecting a load of british embassy stamps on our car documents so i can get into kazakstan without goldy in the car- going to miss her!!!

whizzed through georgia - enough tme to see flashing motorway signs- not of the speed limit- saying NO RUSSIAN TANKS- although there were a lot of police around, couldn't really imagine them stopping them!
