Just when we think we are getting caught up again, we realize that it has been a while since we have updated everyone on what we have been up to. The whirlwind through Europe continues. After an all out race to make the Newcastle ferry from Bergen, Norway (the ferry actually waited for us and […]

Uzbekistan – The Breakfast
January 23, 2008 – 5:04 am
When you drive your own vehicle, you get the opportunity to have some pretty unique experiences. One of those experiences happened just outside of Samarkand, UZ. We had pushed through from Tashkent but arrived near Samarkand pretty late in the evening so decided to spend the night in the trucks near an open field. We […]
Uzbekistan – Tashkent/Samarkand Photos
January 21, 2008 – 7:17 pm
We had been warned a couple of times about the paranoid nature of the government in Uzbekistan and the restrictions placed on most people’s civil liberties. However, politics and powerful dictatorships aside, we immediately fell in love with Uzbekistan and its people. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. In Tashkent we actually found a Toyota […]
Kyrgyzstan Photos
January 20, 2008 – 6:57 pm
Kyrgyzstan was an amazing place and quite a refreshing change from Kazakhstan. We immediately encountered change from the minute we crossed the border in the middle of a blizzard to the friendly locals who helped us out in Osh. Kyrgyzstan offered up dramatic mountain scenery and friendly faces. Kyrgyzstan was also where we met up […]

Just a quick update to let everyone know what is going on in TWBR land. I am currently on the Hurtigruten ferry on my way to Bergen, Norway. Steve and Mark are also on the Hurtigruten ferry on their way to Bergen, but are a day behind… long story. I will be in Bergen for […]

Hello everyone! I hope the new year is treating all of you great. It is really hard to imagine that it is 2008 and Steve and I have been on the road for nearly a year now. Over the course of that year, we have covered nearly 28,000 miles and passed through many different countries. […]
Who Turned Out the Lights?
January 1, 2008 – 11:22 am
I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and is looking forward to the new year. You are probably aware that our website was down for several days… the main server in Florida has some issues, so sorry for keeping everyone in the dark but we think the problem has been fixed. Speaking of […]
Smooth Sailing
December 31, 2007 – 8:45 am
These days it is smooth sailing for TWBR. Smooth sailing in many ways. We are finally in the heart of Europe… although at the moment we are off on the Scandinavia artery… and with that comes great road surfaces. In fact, in Germany, they pride themselves on having some of the best road surfaces in […]
Goodbye Blue Tarp
December 30, 2007 – 5:26 am
As most of you are all aware, someone broke into the Sequoia in Kazakhstan and robbed us and in the process of the robbery, the rear passenger window was completely shattered. Since the break-in, we have been using a blue plastic tarp as a make-shift window and have been dealing with the added cold, noise […]
Mongolian Wedding Photos, etc.
December 22, 2007 – 7:04 am
While in Mongolia, Brendan (who was traveling with us at the time) and I had the unique and amazing opportunity to attend a traditional Mongolian wedding. The wedding took place in the countryside about 350 kms west of Ulaanbaatar. A traditional wedding lasts for about seven days and it was quite an experience. We made […]
