Russia 2 Part IV (Barnaul – St. Petersburg)

2017-11-19 After some rest and social recharging in Barnaul it was time to hit the road again. I drove for 3 days. Driving – sleeping – driving – sleeping – driving and sleeping. Since I’m writing this a few months after the trip, I’m not sure about some details anymore. Pictures tell me I was in Omsk for some minutes to restock on food and take some pictures. I slept in the car close to Read More →

Russia 2 Part III (Aldan river – Barnaul)

Time to continue this blog! 2017-11-05 In the last post I ended up besides the semi-frozen Aldan river. And it was getting dark. So I decided to drive some kilometers back down the road towards Yakutsk again but quickly became tired and hungry. So I drove off the road into the forest and started making some dinner. The temperature was below -30 and it was rather painful to hold anything metal during the cooking. Also it takes Read More →

Mongolia Part III (Ulaanbaatar – Border Russia)

2017-09-26 – 2017-09-28 In the 4 days I stayed in Ulaanbaatar, I didn’t see much. A restaurant, Toyota garage and right before leaving, the dinosaur museum and some of the center. Blog writing, socializing and beer drinking in the hostel was relaxing and resetting. The city itself is not really that interesting. Just big, quite modern and shitloads of traffic. On the way to Ulaanbaatar, Brutus’ rear shock absorbers started rattling so it was time to Read More →

A nostalgic roadtrip to Sweden and Norway

On the 17th of february my brother JR, Dieuwertje, and I embarked on a 4500 km trip to Trondheim and back. We and Brutus started driving in the morning at around 9:00, after some shopping and filling up on diesel. First, we would pick up JR in Zwolle. He left Terschelling very early to be able to meet up in Zwolle at around 10:00. This worked out perfectly according to plan, so at 11:30 we Read More →
