16Singapore
Continue reading »After craziness of the Mongolia I’ve got myself a bit of a different experience visiting Singapore on my way back home. And to understand the shock that one can experience flying between these two countries imagine that there’s about twice as many people in Singapore (just over 5 million) but the country is almost 2,500 times smaller than Mongolia! No wonder there’s so many skyscrapers, all these people have to live and work somewhere. But it’s a nice place to visit especially if you like shopping, the only problem is the humidity that I’m not a big fan of.

30Mongol Rally [9]: Mongolia!
Continue reading »Final leg of our crazy adventure: Mongolia. Mere 1800km that took us 10 days to drive in cars that were falling apart because of bad roads or no roads at all. But we stuck through it and after 38 days since the Czech-out party made it to the finish line! We’ve driven 12,863km, used 927 litres of petrol and raised over $3000 for awesome charities and our car (which was donated too). Once again massive thanks to everyone who helped along the way.

Very good roads, nice small touristy towns all the way and beautiful mountains all around. Definitely a place worth visiting.

12Mongol Rally [7]: Kazakhstan again
Continue reading »After the awesomeness of Kyrgyzstan we came back to Kazakhstan to drive up to Russia. By that point we were racing with the time a bit cause my Russian visa was about to expire in few days and we had about 1200km to drive before we even got there (and additional 900 through there) and no idea about what the roads are going to be like. Because of that we had to split out convoy as our friends stopped for a day to get their car fixed but we hoped to reconnect in Mongolia.

22Mongol Rally [6]: Kyrgyzstan
Continue reading »Kyrgyzstan – one of the biggest positive surprises and probably my favourite place on our rally route. If I’m going to go back to any Asian countries we’ve visited along the way it’s probably going to be there. Awesome mountain drives, beautiful scenery and our fist yurt stay. It was quite amazing to realise how much different it is from Uzbekistan, pretty much right after we crossed the border.
