Peking to Paris 2016 in a 1966 VW Karmann Ghia Patrick & Christine Sommer Car 65

Many of you have followed us on the 2015 "Road to Mandalay" and on the 2012 “London to Cape Town” rallies. On June 12 we will start to drive 14 000 km on the "Peking to Paris" rally. The race will take us through Mongolia & Siberia driving through 11 countries until we reach Place Vendôme in Paris on July 17. We will try to post a short comment on our blog on most days with the exception of Mongolia where we will have no internet access.

Cameron Highlands to Kota Bharu

The day started in the fog of the Cameron Highlands. The special section was cancelled because of dangerous conditions.

On our way to Kota Bharu we drove through Lata Rek which has been devastated by the severe recent floodings. Everybody is busy rebuilding houses and roads.

We are still driving without our fourth gear. Xavier is on his way with a replacement gear box from Belgium. We will start installing it tomorrow night and need to finish on Friday which is our rest day.

At our arrival in Kota Bharu we received the most wonderful welcome of "The Kelab Volkswagen Klassik Club". Watch the rare 1950s VW Oval in front of the row.
