While we wait for the next update from the Optimistic Fools (click here to read previous posts), Chris has sent through some photos of their journey (they’re currently in Russia, having just passed through Kazakhstan). So here’s a quick photo update from the 2008 Mongol Rally, courtesy the Optimistic Fools.
An excerpt from Chris’ last email to Viator: “I have had great difficulty getting to an internet cafe, they seem to be few and far between in the deserts of Kazakhstan. We are now in Russia. I have attached some photos, which Olly took, for you if you look at the one of the back of the car you will see the sticker of Viator I made!”
Thanks Chris, we look forward to your next update from the road. And yes, that Viator bumber sticker is pretty cool. Can we get the original when you’re done, all covered in dirt from your crazy mad journey?
