Haha, get it? Cause of the giant tunnels we go through? We must first start our trip leaving last nights camp where the last few water crossing are causing the wagon to stay locked in 4wd due to water in some switches which is odd as to date has never happened again....

We wake to a lovely warm day. Perfect for the exploring we will be doing, except on top of Mt. Nemrut the wind is howling depending on which side you are on. It’s a steep drive but an easy drive for any vehicle 2 or 4wd. When we arrive at the top we parked and were...

Waking up in Gaziantep, we have a lovely breakfast in the hotel before going out for a walk in town. We walk past spices, and dried fruits and a multitude of copper wares, yet still… no cup of christ, my dream of being indi continuous, Asareh hates it. You will find...

With the test run a success Asareh suggests we head down the coast, and like I would ever say no to her ideas. We spend the next week collecting everything we need and before we know it, the Paj is loaded and ready to go. We get a decently early exit from home and...

With our return from Iran (Blogs to follow) we decide against the rental car and make the plan to get the wagon running asap. With tools and oils at home, I call a friend who then tows the wagon out onto an old house foundation where I will begin my day. Starting...

We spend the next few days before Sean has to leave relaxing and getting our Kebab on. But of course, you can’t leave a country without a good old fashioned transmission removal. What a heavy beast. We nail it in 4 hours though and the box is tucked into the wagon...

There is nothing better than getting to port and discovering that the container key is missing… But more on that later. Let’s go back a couple days. Picture: A bus… I have never been on a bis for an actual trip, for work yes but never like this, so I suggest me and...

With borders closed for ages I finally got a window with South Africa opening up and I wasted no time in preparing the logistics to get the wagon packed up and shipped out. With a port of exit chosen, I hoped on a plane and headed to Joburg. I arrived on the weekend...
