Vladivostok is not going to happen, too far away for 5 weeks. We are planning to finish in Ulan Ude and to fly back from there.
We have a long list of sights to visit, agreed to do sightseeing during the day and to drive during the night
For 5 of the 13 countries along the route we have to obtain visas and permits in advance, Iran being the most difficult one.
Janos’ daughter is interested in joining for the 2nd half of the trip
In Tajikistan we are planning to meet a friend of mine who is driving a 30 year old Trabant to the Tokyo olympics. On the way back he could pick up our car in Ulan Ude and drive it back home to Vienna.
Estimated cost of the whole trip: 3,500.- EUR per person. Of course not including car repairs 😉
