91. 44 days since the Earthroamer broke down

Friday 12 October 2007

Delays, delays, delays….

It has been 44 days since the Earthroamer broke down.

We have just heard from Bagdat in Almaty, that the earliest the Earthroamer could be ready is by the evening of Sunday 14 October, that is when they will try to run the vehicle to see if the parts were the problem.  We are hoping this is so. 

We will then get on the first flight we can to Almaty and hopefully be heading off sometime during the middle of the week.   

Once again, we are very worried about the snowstorms coming and closing the road. 

Watch the website and we will keep you posted.
