Trouble finds our convoy

Last night we camped in a designated camping site in picturesque Altai mountains where we enjoyed the company of many other Russians also camping at the site. Unfortunately we awoke this morning to discover that 3 of our cars had been broken into and only Matilda had been spared. The list of items taken was extensive, including cameras, video cameras, phones, ipods, cds, watch and wallet - a pretty brave effort considering all our tents were 2 metres from the cars. The day has been spent filing police reports and reorganising ourselves. We are extremely thankful that our camping neighbours were quick to step in and translate to police. We are also relieved that no passports have been taken and this little set back won't compromise our convoy's ability to finish the rally in any way! Mongolia or bust baby! We cross into the final frontier on Tuesday!
