We leave in 2 days for London to start the Mongol Rally! First off, I would like to thank the Visa Machine for the amazing work they did and for putting up with my “Sybil” like behaviour.
Let me Tell you about our Pandemonium During Preparations for the Mongol Rally. It’ the week before any adventure that is the freakiest and when everything goes wrong.
