Travel Preparations

Next level in the preparation game: a brand new roof carrier and two proper spare wheels. Plus lots of tools from Taobao to keep my 大众 up and running. But actually I hope we won’t need it at all...

First round with the new car!

First tour with my new VW C-Trek in the mountains around Beijing - exploring the 'Beijing Stelvio' in the West of the City, already in Hebei Province.
