Asia was beckoning once more when Tiffany randomly decided that Outer Mongolia was next on her list of places to visit. Loading up Thelma once more she set off across Europe and the Caucasus into the ‘Stans (Central Asia) where she was joined by Annie, her Mum’s friend who, perhaps unwisely, asked for adventure and rode pillion across the badlands of Central Asia and Siberia to Mongolia.
Tiffany then explored Mongolia and the Gobi Desert solo before continuing across Siberia to Vladivostok on Russia’s Pacific coast where she found a ferry that took her to Japan. After travelling through the land of the Rising Sun she managed to get Thelma onto a ship heading to California where another adventure awaited.
