Trip West Tibet - Our Land Cruiser

Our Land Cruiser is one of the worst and best thing that happened to us in this trip. It broke down more than 9 times (I seriously lost count) with engine problems, burst tyres etc. You name it we have it. It is also one of the slowest four wheel drive ever. Reason, it has been operating for 18 years already. Well, we did get the vehicle and the trip at an extremely cheap price......

Although it is a problematic vehicle, it helped the 5 of us to bond together. Every night we have to hold a conference meeting to discuss about the vehicle and the contingency plans. It also brought out a lot of laughter as we saw buses travelling faster than us on the bumpy roads. Frustrating and at the same time, it taught us not to take things too seriously. We don't always get what we want but we can always change the way we react to what we have. Anyway, we make the best out of it by taking loads of pictures when the vehicle broke down.
