It Was Bound To Happen
October 23, 2007 – 3:13 am
It was bound to happen. We knew in the planning phases of this expedition that even though you can minimize your exposure to theft, you can never fully protect yourself from it. We expected that we would become victims of theft at some point on the expedition, but it still does not make it any […]
From Russia with Love
October 14, 2007 – 10:58 pm
Hello everyone! I just wanted to post a quick update to let everyone know that we are all fine and well here at The World by Road. We have successfully made it across western Mongolia and have crossed the remote mountain-top border at Tashanta into Russia. It was one of the most exhausting weeks in […]

Updated Timeline and Routemap
September 24, 2007 – 4:39 am
Things are ever changing here at TWBR and as part of those changes, we have made some recent modifications to the route. China put us behind, but we have been making good time catching back up. Soon we will be into the Stans and then Europe. One of the biggest changes to date is the new […]
Knocking off the k’s
September 3, 2007 – 7:53 pm
Over the last few days the ground beneath the trucks has been flying by. After finally getting all of our paperwork straight and all of the “inspections” done, we made our way to Kunming, a day later we raced off to Dali, Li Shaing followed by Tiger Leaping Gorge and now we are hours away from […]
Almost There… We Think
August 29, 2007 – 9:34 pm
As Steve mentioned the other day, we are physically in China now. Once we crossed the border (which took a lot longer than it should have as a result of some paperwork errors – which were not our fault) we drove to Mengla where we were supposed to get our vehicles inspected. Because of the […]
We are in!!
August 28, 2007 – 9:14 pm
This will have to be short because we are not done with all the paperwork and processing, but after spending 30 hours and sleeping in the trucks at the border we have managed to at least get into the country. We are now in a small town just South of Kunming. Here we will spend […]

Hello everybody. The Thundra, Little Pepe, Steve and I are currently in Luang Nam Tha, Laos about 50 kilometers from the China border crossing at Botan. We are going to cross over into China on Monday and are still waiting to see if we will have to leave the Toyotas at the border for a […]
Just What the Doctor Ordered
August 23, 2007 – 2:14 am
Many of you are now well aware of the ongoing saga of getting our vehicles into China. We were supposed to get in on August 27th, but were then informed that we would have to wait for an official to return from a business trip before crossing the border. As luck would have it, our contact has […]
