Mongolia or Bust!
- August 18: Cyrus went bust when Kazakhstan wouldn't give him a second visa at the border, and then there were two.
- August 22: Alex went bust when I had to fly back to work from Novosibirsk (but I have now taken a hot shower in my very own bathroom, and that almost made the 17 hour flight on three separate airplanes worth it) and then there was one.
- Theo and the LADA are still going strong. I am now convinced that the Lada is capable of just going forever, deliver her to the poor Mongolians, Theo - they certainly aren't getting a better car our of this rally!
Made it to Barnaul, Russia and caught up with a couple of other teams to keep Theo company on the way to Mongolia (including Dan and Simon, who had managed to escape Camp Baku to Turkmenistan a few days before the rest of us left for Kazakhstan)

This is truly an epic, epic tale. Theo -- keep driving, and let Alex do the posting. Hopefully Cy will show up somewhere/sometime. Good thing he wasn't flying to Leningrad ...
