this was our first day, all aboard the Mongol Derby 2019 wagon, a not so long 7hr coach trip, we got to understand our GPS' & trackers, mingle between riders in which I've made such good friends & met incredibly amazing people & we looked at the cool stuff outside! 🧐😁

we finally made it to camp & wow, I literally thought we'd be 'in the sticks' from there on, but no, we got blow up beds in our traditional Gers, free dinners & a free bar, music & all the best company you could ever need!

thanks for making it so brilliant guys! 😁

Off to the bus! So off the air until next time 😱 please see all links in previous posts to follow my journey, & here is my GPS DOT LINK 🤪
