Mongol Rally [9]: Mongolia!


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.
