Russia

In Russia there are difficult decisions to made. Driving on mountain roads through the real Altai or save time on the main road. Due to bad weather the main road wins. The Road offers beautiful views at least before Gorno Altaysk. The chaos of Russian long-haul traffic dominates. No one cares about the other and who does not drive near the center line with the motorbike does not need to wonder if drivers, see it as a call for overtaking. Even if we had only two and a half day in Russia, I am pleased that Cate also gains a positive impression from the Russians. We don’t experience the hospitality which I know from Siberia but comparison is also somewhat unfair. The joy of Russia is clouded, however, since Onguday my engine noise is steadily louder and sounds suspiciously like a bearing damage.
