• Three adventurous women• Adventure can be well combined with doing
something good for others?• We created an organization, raised money
through charity dinners and sponsors - and then we bought an ambulance!

But - We took our time, however, for a night of camping with the friendly Iranian
people before we left the country.

It took us 56 hours of constant driving, from Amol, Iran, trough Turkmenistan, to the border of Uzbekistan..
… to get out of Turkmenistan in time before the ending of the visa.

Border Passages went like a breeze – no one tried to check through the car.
(Wonder why?)
Kilroy/ChillOut 8 november 2012
We created a good atmosphere at the borders - “popping out" from the hatch

someone had to sleep in
the middle!

Todays menu? OK – so with 2 chefs and one food blogger, our objective was not
nutrition or rations, but rather different flavours and often a bottle of wine and assorted tea.

But we ended up getting all the way to the Gobi desert before we had our first, AND last flat tire.
(Eehm…. it was quite flat, even girls would say that.)
Kilroy/ChillOut 8 november 2012
And after 5 days crossing the Gobi desertWe arrived at The Final destination – The Goal
Ulan Bator and The Finish line!

In a car,with 3 seats and two hospital beds,
we drove over 1/3 of the earth's surface, through 19 nations.
“And now, from this Monday on, our Norwegian ambulance will do its duty in the
steppes of Mongolia.”
