Shit, the worst nightmare is happening.
Only 120 km from Budapest in the middle of the night Lady Lada Niva gives up. 5th gear fall out and all kinds of strange sounds start filling the cocpit. Soon all gears are crazy and we finally manage to park next to a shopping mall.
It's freezing cold and we are preparing for a sleep in the tent when two policeoffisers show up and give us a lift to a hotel. Tomorrow we will either have to fix the gearbox our self or we have to find a garage that will do it. This has to happen before midnight because then we will have to be in the big square of Budapest for the start of Budapest - Bamako. By the way, rumors say that Team Bilnor now are at their hotel in Budapest and ready for action.
What a beautiful start of the adventure of Fjord Riders.
