First Class Travellers back home

We told you about the article about Mongol rally between June and July. The team First Class Travellers was preparing for this event at that time. Neal and Luke from Great Britain were describing the preparation steps before to leave for the voluntary charity race from London to Ulanbaatar called Mongol rally. Now they are back home and Neal told us about his feelings after passing about 10.000 km in the following article.

Different one, not so common one and for sure full of adventure. If you are interested in this, what it is, how it began, when the trip starts, how long it is going to be and so on, for sure keep reading.
