Today we visited a country not previously on our planned route - the country of Taxistan. Karen had been phoned by a team who were stranded for 5 days in No Man's Land between the Russia and Kazakhstan borders due to Russian visa errors.
Our 4-car convoy loaded up with food and water supplies and exited Kazakhstan to enter Taxistan, a country with a population of two English lads, one shoddy table and a London black cab. We negotiated with both of the population to acknowledge our entry by writing an official statement in our passports. In return, we offered border bribes of water, iced vov biscuits from Sydney, Elvis playing cards and boomerang to annoy the guards with. The Russians were not amused by Taxistan's insistence of playing 'God Save the Queen' as each of the 4 cars crossed into Russia - cheers lads and bravo!
