16 - 9. AT LONG LAST A BATH

I, Green Car, have not had a proper bath since Russia. Nina and Hjalte immediately took a bath when they arrived to China after eight days without a bath in the Gobi. I, on the other hand, had to wait until this morning, when they finally found a car-wash. Five people hosed me. soaped me, sprayed me, vacuum-cleaned me and polished me. After the first bath they told me I better had one more. In the end I basked in the admiring glances, even if it started raining. Now I smile to every cleaner I see. I had collected so much mud from Mongolia that I left a small mountain and a lake in the car-wash when I drove away.

All the best from Green Car
