Into Russia

An Exhausting day. Took about 5 hours to get through both the Mongolian and Russian borders then we had to drive over 700kms to Belokurikha (detour due to forest fires) which meant we didn’t arrive at the hotel unil 2.30am (15 cars behind us as well so they were even later) only to find that they had sold our rooms……..by 3.30am we still didn’t have a bed and had to be up at 7am the next morning!! finally they got us a cab to another hotel close by…  The next day we drove 435km to the Kazakhstan border along what was rather lovely fields of wheat and sun flowers. Very friendly people, with the kids coming out of the schools to line the streets and wave at us.
