Start: Novosibirsk, Russia N: 55* 01.785 E: 082* 55.022 |
Finish: Novosibirsk, Russia N: 55* 01.785 E: 082* 55.022 | Mileage: 000 |
| Notes: Here in Russia, we have made many very dear friends. There's a business owner in town who hails from the U.S., and we went to his club, New York Times, here in Novosibirsk to meet our new guide, Roma, to say farewell to our former guide, Ivan, and to thank our Land Rover heroes from Autoland Siberia. It was a wonderful evening, and everybody had fun. But it was also sad, because with friends this great, we hate to leave. We'll spend one final day in the city, and then we'll head north. Eric, the business owner, is generously helping us with publicity, so we'll take photos and do a couple of interviews tomorrow. (N.O.) | ||
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.
