2 Moose on the Loose Car Game over Mongol Rally RIP Still stranded travel Turkey
Miles: 26Countries: TurkeyStops: AnkaraPlaylists: ...We woke up to a motorcycle parking and keys jingling less than a metre from our car. We stayed as still as possible to appear like no one is in the car in case it was a cop checking in and wanting to write a ticket. It wasn't. It was a girl who parked the scooter and went inside. It wasn't until we started to eventually emerge from the car and fold the bed that she came out, gave us some food, took a selfie with the car and disappeared back inside. Pretty sure she thought...
Day 11: I'm here to tell ya honey that I'm B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone

Miles: 75Countries: CzechStops: Prague -> Kutna HoraPlaylists: The sound of our voices Upon finding our way to Old Town Prague, we have been overwhelmed ever since. I know I've already posted about how incredible it is, but my god, pictures do not do it justice and everything about this city is outstanding. Except the roads, screw the roads. The cobblestone was so uneven, our dashcam kept thinking we were in a continuous accident and locking on us, and Czech drivers are insane. I don't think there are actually any rules... no lanes, and people drove wherever, however, and whenever they...
Day 9: Feels like we’ve met somewhere before. Saw you, my heart just hit the floor. This time I’m following the signs. This moment could flash before your eyes.

Miles:Countries: Belgium -> Luxembourg Stops: Brussels -> Truck stop half an hour outside of Brussels -> Namur -> LuxembourgPlaylists: iPod shuffle (range from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Dr. Dre, Great Big sea, to friggin Christmas Music) Today's title is an ode to the waffle Read on. After finishing our gyros, we walked around downtown and, wow, I feel the air was knocked out of my chest. I wasn't too impressed with Brussels up until then - it was dirty and it reeked, sketchy as all hell (we were positive we were coming back to an empty car), and aside from the...
Day 8.2: As I was walking away, I heard her say over my shoulder "we'll meet again someday on the avenue".

Miles: 175Countries: UK -> France -> BelgiumStops: Dover -> Calais -> random pit stop somewhere -> Brussels Playlists: random iPod selection LOL today. The ferry was sweet as we got to be on deck and meet some friends. We planned our route from the ferry to Prague - where there is an organized party on Tuesday night. Every team had a different route and we didn't really sort one out ourselves so as we were talking to various teams, we met some Australians with whom we seemed to really get along and liked their plan. Plan was to meet outside...

Miles: ~135Countries: UKStops: Chichester -> DoverPlaylists: Toot Toot Chugga Chugga - The Wiggles. But also "Car-oake" (Apple Music) and "Rock Classics Greatest Hits" (Spotify). Last we ended was in Goodwood. We arrived, checked in, ate some of our Costco sausage rolls, and were greeted with a beer and Mongolian throat singing. Some wicked rendition of Stairway to Heaven remixed! We proceeded to Mongolian wrestling and watched some of the drunkards get their ass handed to them. Literally, Mongolian tradition is the winner gets to then spank the loser on the bottom. There are two teams that just got married and this...
