Rest day. Rested and planned an early night for the 850km push for Vladivostok. All went to plan until me and Steve bumped into a Kiwi biker late into the night named Justin, who was travelling on his own and was intending to ride the route we'd just ridden. At this stage with the off roading behind us we were happy to help him out with some items from our kit that he didn't have but could maybe use. Nice guy and I hope our help/advice helped. We'll see. Oh forgot to say, it's bloody expensive here! Steves piece of steak cost him £34 (yes £34), veg extra, and beers were £5 each! A walk around town showed why though, with it being the only place that I've been to in Russia that wasn't grim. Far from it infact, it is a stunning place, very affluent, very european and a real gem. Difficult to believe it's further east than China!
