That's right, we've made it. I'll keep this brief, because my brain isn't working after a pretty heavy celebratory night...

As I said, we made it - but unforunately, the last 400km (of 14,000!) was to prove too much for our beloved Maria, who finally gave up after a heroic effort - 10km short of the perfect tarmac road to the capital. Despite her not making it, we certainly don't feel like we've failed - after all, we're in UB, and Maria is sitting in Mongolia waiting to be repaired and sold for charity

If you were wondering why Maria didn't make it, here's our casualty list....

Maria :(

I don't quite know what to say about it all, so all I'll say is that it's been incredible, and certainly the adventure we were hoping for. This may well be the last blog entry we'll do, so thanks again for all the donations guys, we wouldn't have made it without you.
