Merry Christmas
Communications from the South of France
I am sure we mentioned that we were heading for the sun and sea for a few days. Nowhere was more appealing than somewhere in France. I guess you could say we have developed a bit of an obsession with the country. We flew into Nice a couple of days…
Update from Blighty. Sunday 23rd Sept.
It’s a very different life now, living in a place that is not mobile. However that is how it’s going to be for the next month. We are back in Blighty while the Land Rover is on it’s way to Vancouver, Canada. The estimated arrival date for it is 18th…
A day Sightseeing in Moscow. Sat. 15th Sept.
We are up early this morning so we can be at the Bolshoi Theatre for an 11am Walking Tour. It’s a 40min walk from our hotel but when we arrive, in plenty of time for the tour, there is nobody with the ‘Say Hi! To Russia’, T Shirt, at the…
Update from the Team in Moscow after 7 nights on the Trans Siberian
It’s a lovely mild day in Moscow and it’s great to be out of the 2m x 2.5m ‘tomb’ that we have been almost confined to for the last 6 days and 7 nights. Was the Trans-Siberian Train ride ‘worth it’? Would we recommend you do it? Only if it…
Day 111 in cricketing terms, Nelson. 5th September. Vladivostok.
Nelson = One eye, one arm and one leg. Deemed unlucky..:) Today is an auspicious day. Today we celebrate the day Jen was born ….mumble… years ago… 49 to be nearly precise…:) Happy Birthday Jen. You are amazing! A thought for Jen’s Mum today. Jen’s her first child. She’ll remember…
Day 109. Monday 3rd. Vladivostok.
Well, last nights accommodation was….basic. No, it was crap, but at least the shower water was hot. The washing machine wouldn’t work properly. This meant we had loads of washing hanging up, dripping wet and with little drying time. 3 out of 10. Outside it’s belting down. Jen has been…
Day 107. September 1st. Khabarovsk to Vladivostok.
Breakfast this morning at the hotel was uninspiring, but then we arrived only a short time before the restaurant was due to close. It is a leisurely morning for us. While Jen was working on her blog for the previous day, I decided to go down and change the driver’s…
Day 105. 30th August. Birobidzhan, Eastern Siberia
Last night was a disaster. We again found what looked to be a disused quarried area off the motorway. It was a bit scruffy looking but being late in the day, we needed to stop. Finding a flat area, camp was set up. After an interesting but tasty meal we…
Day 103. Tuesday 28th Aug. Between Chernyshevsky & Skovorodino
Jen mentioned our excitement yesterday morning, with the cooker catching fire. It’s a Coleman two burner petrol cooker that has been working great till now. Sometimes it can over-fuel after filling but it hasn’t been a problem. Yesterday it would not burn cleanly. In my efforts to get it burning…
