April - July 2014
On April 17 we joined Kuipwagen (Marijke and Coen) and Ivor (Kim and Vaughan) in the Northern Laos border town of Boten, to cross into China as a convoy. Twenty nine days later we reached Erenhot, China and crossed into Mongolia.
We spent a month in Mongolia enjoying the landscape and diversity of the county. We exited on the Western border to Russia. We then headed North-West and then South-West through Russia towards Kazakhstan.
We had a marvelous time traveling through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and back into Kazakhstan en route to the Caspian Sea (www.7lows.com).
