| Logbook for Oct. 19th, Day 354 | ||
|
Start: Jinghe, China Time: 9:23 a.m. N: 44* 36.185 E: 082* 53.161 |
Finish: Almaty, Kazakhstan Time: 12:00 a.m. N: 43* 15.021 E: 076* 56.705 | Mileage: 358 |
| Notes: We pushed on to the China/Kazakhstan border, and we got through with little trouble. We had to wait several hours for them to return from their lunch break, but it was smooth sailing from there. The change from China to Kazakhstan was drastic. This new country reminds us of late70's/early 80's U.S.A., and we really like it. It's difficult to navigate because of the funny writing on the street signs, but we managed to find a hotel with the help of a taxi driver, and we're all jammed cozily into a double-occupancy room at the Hotel Almaty.

Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
