Well, I am in Irkutsk right now. Updating the internet. I will leave for Ulan-Ude after this. But I will not reach the city before tomorrow. I am travelling alone again. Doug has some problems with his clutch and wants to spend some time around Irkutsk and Lake Baikal. I keep going because I have to get to Vladivostok in time. It is no race, but I just want to keep moving. Doug will take the train anyway from Chita to Khabarovsk. This stretch of road is not paved yet. It will be a real test for me and my Ural, but I want to do it. Once in Vladivastok I will attend the bike show. After that I want to see Nadia as soon as possible. Probably I will take the train. We will see about this later.

Anyway, I am still alive and well. My Ural is doing great. The wheather is not so nice today, but that will not spoil the fun.

Bye for now.
