Medical medleys and other setbacks

Please standby for the next blog updates, we've had a few setbacks since the last posting and now we're struggling to find net access. Until the full blown story gets posted up, heres a brief summary of what's fallen off the car, and us, since we last posted...

1. Becky spent three days in Tbilisi hospital following her stomach illness....(It never did get better)  She's well and truly on the mend now though.

2. The car developed some weird and wonderful suspension noises approaching Tbilisi, the roads were dire...It was stripped down in a garage and we fixed it up.

3. Right now we're in Baku, Azerbaijan. The land of 1001 corrupt policeman....Three fictitious speeding fines received within the first hour of entering the country. Thanks guys! Losers..

4. We're just about to catch the freight ship from Baku to Turkmenbashi Port in Turkmenistan. With a fair wind its a 15 hour crossing, so we should be there sometime tomorrow lunchtime.  Its supposed to be a nightmare trip, so whether or not we actually get on the boat is another matter....

More details and some very cool pictures to follow soon. Stay tuned!
