12,000km of mongo pushing just defeats the purpose

[14degrees]

@tonyslaybeez It would have, I agree. Except that I was switching feet.

Amazing! 1.30 did that guy give you the finger?

@hadashi05 Potentially...not sure if he was waving hello or telling me to sod off.

I love the part where you realize the roads arent getting better towards shanghai. it was like that through most of peru and morocco for us. The roads rarely got better until the last few km towards a major city.

One more thing, Rob I think we used the same type of tooth brush on our trips (although mine was cut in half to save weight haha)

@fuzzydeer Toothbrushes are for the weak...I now superglue sandpaper to my tongue...the ultimate in lightweight teethcleaning ;-)
