We drove straight through Budapest to Kiev, after picking up the paperwork that Nick left us at a hotel about 45 mins from the Ukraine border.
We sat down, had some espresso, and forged documents.
Over the past 24 hours we've been cooped up in the car and are literally destroyed, and need to sleep, eat, and then sleep again.
The confidence is high, but so is the tension, after driving around the capital for hours upon hours in search of tires, Nissan dealer, internet cafes, and a place to crash.
Tonight we recharge and head out again...towards Russia and Kazahkstan directly, as we planned from the beginning.

"We sat down, had some espresso, and forged documents." Snort! Let the adventures begin! Remember to call me if you guys get thrown in the slammer so I can round up a lawyer or two. That is if you get a phone call... Send up a flare?
I loved the pics and cannot get over how tiny your little green Kermit Car is. The pic of all three of you grown men tucked carefully inside was priceless.
Please don’t kill each other.
We are all enjoying your blog. Keep the updates coming! Love, love. Maria
I am as green with envy as the color of your chariot.

Cool Photos! Thanks for posting them! Looks like you guys are having a great time (other than the somewhat expected complications and setbacks). I finally got somewhere with a decent internet connection, so I am now enjoying getting caught up on your adventure in your blog. I am looking forward to future posts and photos, and I hope the rest of your trip goes (reasonably) smoothly. Best of luck!
