My Round The World ride (inc top blagging at Spa & The Ring)
Discussion
Love it 
I've reached the end of my third continent, Oceania (which was awesome) but have reached a bit of a stumbling block and am now camped out indefinitely at Sydney airport. To keep costs down, a friend of mine who works for an airline has got me a bargain price on a standby seat from Sydney to Santiago but the downside is it's spring break in the US and after two nights sleeping on the floor at the airport I'm still being told the one flight per day I can take is fully booked for the next five days, not allowing for any full price bookings next week....
Edited to add: I'm flying on a US based airline and can only fly their routes so I'm flying Sydney -> USA -> Santiago.

I realise I've been a bit slack lately when it comes to updates but having just sat down for the past two days to go through my photos I seem to have taken about 12,000 so going through them all, picking the best ones, uploading them and copying the image tags was always going to take a while....
I'll skip Europe for now because it was so long ago but might get around to uploading the pics one day.
Georgia:
Apologies to anyone on a mobile.

Kazakhstan Part 1 - September:
Peeling carrots for Plov.
There were enough to feed an army!
Plov. A Central Asian dish mainly consisting of meat, rice & carrots.
Traditional Kazakh housewarming. The three Brits are guests of honour.
Any ideas?
My friends' van. They drove this all the way to the Chinese / Kazakh border before turning back for Kyrgyzstan. It's now in Afghanistan being used as an ambulance.
Cooking a traditional British meal for our hosts. We made cottage pie followed by apple crumble and they loved it.
Probably my most remote camp of the whole trip.
300km of dirt roads to Beyneu.
Some rare tarmac.
An Abu Dhabi Sheikh had a falconry camp in a remote part of the Kazakh steppe.
Preparing the dinner.
Dinner with the Sheikh.
Saying goodbye.
Well brewsted!
