After leaving Australia at 265k we finally ticked over the 300k mark in Turkey. The car has been running great although does require your standard maintenance that is performed before most trips as you would expect, as the roads we normally try to drive add a...

After the D915 drive I figured it was time to see how wild of roads I could find. I guess for this blog I will just let the photos do the talking, I winded my way through about 75kms worth of crazy switch backs, loose rock slopes, thick fog and walked away okay....

The call came, the dreaded call… “Hello, Asareh, your apartment smells like dead fish like the fridge has quit” Ahhh man, we quickly book a flight as we hadn’t left a key with anyone back in Antalya and Asareh will be on her way home in no time at all. Luckily at the...

The tent is pooling some water this morning so my wake up call is brutal and quick. But a coffee makes all okay. We have 1 thing to do today and this is to drive the D915. So we hammer straight to Bayburt for a refuel and head north. The road starts very easy and is...

We wake up to a stunning view on the edge of the cliff after a peaceful night. We wash up in the spring and head straight back into tunnels, I figure it almost works out to be 30kms worth of tunnels overall but broken up into pieces. Heading out we travel past a few...

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...

Where do we start today, it was a mish mash of side roads into the mountains then back onto the main road for 5 kms then we would whip into the next side track. But of course, that is not before we start with breakfast and a lazy coffee. Moving into town we cross a...

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...

It finally happened, we finally met red dog. But more on that later. Being our last day for driving, we are slow to wake and pack. A quick egg on bread to keep clean up to a minimum. The camp was nice and we were treated to good company next door along with the...
