We escape……. George, Maurice and I decide that we are big kids now and drive all by ourselves to the shopping centres. We feel like we are very rebellious and only have to stop once to ask/gesticulate for instructions. A successful day. Maurice finds a hat, I get some clean clothes and George gets a whole new wardrobe pretty much.The landrover is going well – the only maintenance I have done is adding two cans of fuel cleaner. Gregs theory is “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” so as we are having no problems with performance we don’t need to use the layover day for vehicle fixing.
In the afternoon George and I wander down to the riverside to the Siberians equivalent of a beach. It is nice and hot but there is quite a bit of broken glass and cigarette butts in the sand. Almost everyone here smokes. After being at home where hardly anyone does anymore the smell is nauseous – especially when you are eating. They are cheap here – about $4 a pack.
