The expedition to the 7th continent had it all: giant icebergs, penguins, whales, birds, historic settlements and breathtaking scenery. And yes, we all did the freezing polar plunge and can brag about it for the rest of our lives!

The Great Overland Adventure is on tour again! To get back on track with the original itinerary, we decided to do a small jump and do Georgia and Turkey - more precisely to travel from Tbilisi to Istanbul!

The world was slowly recovering from Covid-19 and the possibility for new adventures opened up again (yay!). So we thought: Why not drive around by ourselves in a tiny tin can on narrow roads in Sri Lanka?

The plan was to go back to Islamabad and continue on the Karakoram Highway, into China, then onwards to the “Stan” countries, but then the corona pandemic came along and put a firm stop to this plan.

The third leg of the great overland adventure at first gave us a minor headache. We wanted to start in Delhi, where we ended last year, before moving on to the stan-countries.
