Arrived Safely in Yangon :)))

Just completed a Very Very long final 630km day.. 

Scorching heat. 500 + km of Expressway but still had dogs, water buffalo, mopeds, children etc popping out to say 'hello' and nearly a few goodbyes... 
Shattered.. 
Hopefully wifi will work here...  
Pics later...

I can see now why some Teams put their cars on trailers and thumbed a lift in the 4x4 lol
At least we can say we stayed on Rally Route from Start to Finish.

Tough Rally but Fantastic Time was had by all even if they did give our Trophy to a Rolls Royce lol .. Should have been in our 'shadow' ha ha :))))

Ps couldnt resist the Balloon Ride at 5am over the Temples of Bagan. Awesome...











And here come the Sales Men selling their wares...


After our early morning Balloon Ride we were quite late leaving.. 10am so a long day was ahead of us..




David 'Tanked' the Old Girl for 4 hours solid apart from a 5 minute Petrol fill up..

And then just 1 km before the next petrol fill up we heard a strange noise coming from the engine and slowed down to investigate..
I thought OMG something serious was occurring lol but it turned out to be just the alternator or rather the bearings of the alternator had gave up the ghost..
So belt was cut off and on we marched the last 225km..





Number 9 struggling in the heat of this final day.. They are true sportsmen these guys. Have fought long and hard all 'around the track' - picked up 3rd place


Last Toll and the sun is setting..
Yikes soon we would be without light...



Then a police escort for the last group to arrive... That was a right fiasco as the locals dont even bother taking any notice of the anyone... Police included so ...



But we made it in the pitch black through heavy Yangon traffic and now resting with a capital 'R' at 'Kandawgyi Palace..
