Mongol Rally 2017
Day 13: You can go your own way, go your own way.
Miles: 420 (+6200ft elevation)Countries: RomaniaStops: Timisoara -> a million little rest stops along route -> Brasov -> Transfargarasan Playlists: DJ Chris', Epic Hype Songs (Spotify), It was an early and cranky morning for everyone yesterday. We set alarms to make sure we're out and on the road by 7 to make up for lost time. But having 4 people in the Aussie car makes it only natural that they had to stop every hour. Our planned arrival at the Dracula castle was around noon. We didn't get there until after 4 with the ridiculous number of stops required and construction delays....
Day 12:
2 Moose on the Loose Mongol Rally travel YOLO
Miles: 300 (yesterday, I think I forgot to include it) + 160 (today) Countries: Hungary -> almost Serbia -> RomaniaStops: Budapest -> Mako -> TimisoaraPlaylist: Epic Songs, Disney, #ThrowbackThursday (all Spotify)We started the day by wandering around the food market and then drove over to the highest point in the city. It felt so unreal, it actually felt like we were walking around Disney world. It was also bloody hot (clearly we've been amongst Aussies). It was 37 degrees and the shower we had this morning.... quickly forgotten. We were sweating just from breathing and the ice water we bought...
Day 11.2: Let me share this whole new world with you <3
2 Moose on the Loose Mongol Rally travel YOLO
Miles:Countries: Czech -> Austria -> forgot Slovakia -> HungaryStops: Kutna Hora -> Vienna -> forgot Bratislava -> BudapestPlaylists: our wonderful friend DJ Bruno's playlist that melted our hearts and a Spotify Classic Rock Legends. We had a pretty wired ride into Austria from the last stop after having some coke and coffee. And I mean WIRED. We talked silly, did crosswords, and really just ended up singing once our friend's playlist randomly came on on the iPod. Not a single crossword clue was uttered for an hour and 27 minutes. We had the windows rolled down, hands thumping across the...
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 10: because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course. He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse. He's going the distance.

Miles: 450Countries: Luxembourg -> Germany -> Czech RepublicStops: Luxembourg -> Bingen -> just outside Frankfurt -> Prague playlists: iPod shuffle. From Britney Spears to Daft Punk to Eminem to Opera. Luxembourg was beautiful! We flew the drone a bit over the city from a cliff before heading out and then continued on Eastward. Pretty much as soon as we hit Germany, we were lost. But we continued to rock out to music and carry on - I even had a video of justin belting out opera! We took a number of wrong turns (we wouldn't constantly keep getting lost if justin...
