10 in no order, behold!

- Mongolia & the binoculars
From the book, the story of Ewan exchanging his (not needed) binoculars to the Nomad for his assistance. In the middle of nowhere on Earth.

- Crossing into the Ukraine
Siht gets real. Fascinating to read & behold on youtube. Like time travel.

- Road of Bones
Unbelieveable... they'll never conquer a more f'd up leg of travel.

- Magadan
Ultimate road destination on Earth if there ever was one. No one ever drives there, from UK no less. Powerful history at the end of the Road.

- The house of guns lol
I loved the reaction in the book when Ewan tells him they're riding all way to Magadan- in that instant, the psycho mafia guy throws them massive respect.

- Chernobyl UNICEF
Possibly the most precious UNICEF cause in the developed world, being forgotten.

- End of tarmac in Asia
When the fun begins!

- 'Get me the *beep* out of London!'
Classic.

- Ewan's dad in New York
Still my fav surprise from either LWR/LWD

- Ewan in love with camping
I love reading when Ewan talks them into camping rather than finding a room... there's alaways a better tale to tell!

Besides all the impossible roads to travel I really got a kick out of the guy with the machine gun and guitar and when they visited the spa to "relax." That brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard. They got beat to a pulp by speedo sumus and then soaped up like little kids. lol

Ewan's mosquito bite forehead, cracks me up every single time!

Purple monkeys are flying... There I said it, I feel better for it

I enjoyed Ewan's monologue contrasting the plenty of Alaska to where they had just come from in Siberia and Mongolia. It's hard when you are surrounded by so much commercial and resource availability to imagine it not being there.

I loved them all also shame it was so long ago but another good movie Motorcycle diaries has subtitles but good story of how you could just go on a bike ride into history
