Vladivostok - Khabarovsk

Well our first riding day was very eventful.

We'll let pictures do the talking, but in brief:

• We spent 14 hours riding (compared to our estimate of 10)

• We covered 800 km

• Getting used to riding on right-hand side of road

• Dead guy on road while leaving Vladivostok?

• Street kid wearing gas mask

• Roads were horrendous – probably 200km of road works

• We got rained on and freezing cold

• Lady gave Zane hot coffee cans to warm up hands (which were now blue)

• Room for improvement regarding improving waterproofing gear

• Got lost in a bad part of Khabarovsk with the sun going down

• Hotel kind of like a dungeon

The next day we had to reorganise some luggage, waterproof our gear, change a tyre and rest a little. So we stayed in Khabarovsk for another day. We had the pleasure of meeting Artem Oskin and Denis Doroshkevich – some distant work colleagues of Alex’s. They took us out for lunch and showed us around their city. Thanks guys!
