An early start on our last day of the rally saw us leave the Comfort hotel at 7 am. Our aim was to reach the border by around 9 am so that if we had any delays we would still reach the finish line the same day giving us two working days to organise […]
WE HAVE JUST NOTICE OUR TRACKER HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS. IF ANYONE NOTICES THIS HAPPENS AGAIN PLEASE CONTACT US. Andy in his last blog publicly thanked all his donors, I would like to do the same you have all been very generous, I know it will make a big […]
We had a welcome relaxed stay in Samarkand to recharge our batteries, remember we are a couple of sad sixty year old pensioners doing this mad rally to raise money for four worthwhile charities. If you feel like donating (if you haven’t already done so) then go to the donate button on the home page […]
Andy C has got you on the Ferry and crossing the Caspian Sea, now I will pick up the baton, not quite as philosophical as his blog, although I agree whole heartedly with his comments. We arrived or we thought we had arrived at Turkmenbashi at about 4pm on Saturday 6th August only to anchor […]
Well guess what we are, still in Baku, although it is a great city we will be glad to see the back of it. We feel we are being treated a bit like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed on s**t. Last night I got my own back on Andy C who claimed I […]
This is one of the shortest blogs you will get from the two Andy’s with verbal diarrhoea. Oh by the way Andy C is all but better, I am getting the odd twinge!! Hope to report back at next wifi stop, fingers crossed for ferry tickets today.
As Andy has already said Baku is a lovely city, we all make assumptions that unknown cities will be different and a little bit frightening but once you arrive settle in and get your bearings they turn out to be just as good as the previous places you have visited. Baku is no exception, it’s […]
Just to emphasis Andy C’s remarks about Tbilisi, it is a great place. We visited an antique market that I am glad Jane did not have access to as we would have needed a Lorry to carry home all her purchases. We headed into town bought some gas canisters for our Primus which were the […]
I am sitting on the Turkish/Georgian border, with probably an eight hour wait to cross the into Georgia, writing this blog. We are enjoying our wait with four Italians (one who is serenading us with Star Wars, Pink Panther etc on his trombone) and two Suisse and some other English people all doing the Mongol […]
We had a long drive yesterday but it was worth it because today we meandered a little bit off piste, largely because alcohol is difficult to come by in this part of the country. Fortunately we had a bottle of Romanian red up our sleeve which served a very important purpose when we finally checked […]
