Yay you off then - hopefully. Enjoy the shit hole (that is of France) then onward and upward. Good luck. R

finally on the road for real. Roofbox fitted. We'll know if it falls off because the irratating whistling noise will presumably stop. This is like being at a Deadloss Superstar gig!

Bri has been reunited with his passport! Huzzah! Pete is already too hot. To be fair, it is a little toasty...

sauntering along the south coast. What a gorgeous day. Festival of Slow went swimmingly - but the car's already starting to smell a little fruity. Are there any hills en route to Mongolia? The Swift's not really a fan.@

We made it in time for gin. Pete's been rave dancing for an hour. Dignity not a priority it appears.

Can't believe you got this far. Have you done any driving yet Brian?

Central Bohemia, Czech Republic

Recieved by SMS at 27th July 2010 at 17:48

Prague ring road tour continues! Heading for Plzen again... You know how insects and birds increase thier intelligence by swarming? Mongol convoys clearly don't. At least it's a laugh.,

Prague, Czech Republic

Recieved by SMS at 27th July 2010 at 21:43

Prague! Fourteen people round a table for dinner. At last! Little bit of trouble finding the campsite, but that'll hardly be a suprise to regular readers

Prague, Czech Republic

Recieved by SMS at 28th July 2010 at 14:22

convoy turns out to be just as useless at decision making on foot, but we're having fun regardless. Tho still finding things using the spiral-round-it method. Flavoured hot chocolate and icecream time now.@

Vienna, Austria

Recieved by SMS at 29th July 2010 at 20:24

one hour border crossings will soon be speedy in comparison. Sadly, the canadians and the american have been taken away and shot. NowTransylvania bound.
