On the topic of food. My Russian is worse than shite, so I downloaded a translation app onto my phone the other day. In the cafe next to the hotel i was being served by one of the few Russian women who has drunk from the fugly spring. I ask for shashlik : niet. I type into my phone beef: niet. Ok, I type in pork and one of the predictive spellings is porker. I think she wondered why I was smiling :-)
Griff: Adam is definitely with the Mundus boys and Pete the Babs Rocket Boy. He's not in Yakutsk yet another unless he fuelled nitrous in Chara where he was earlier today. I'll let him and the mundus boys comment on whether your Landy will make it. All i can say is Mongolia is a piece of p!ss compared to the BAM. Then again the Kudu Exped backup car made it a couple of years ago.
Sami: thanks for the news i was hoping to hear. Do you have a gps ref for the Tajikistan embassy in Almaty? Or is it on Walter's waypoint list? Can't check at the moment as I am writing this post on my phone. Need to boot up my tablet pc to check the file on Mapsource.
