Omsk

After having had two fantastic lazy days in Tomsk with my friend Tanja we unfortunately had to get back on the road. Now we are in Omsk, and just met a really nice guy who let me use a computer in his office. I better don't keep this computer occupied to long. More soon when we're in Estonia.

Russia. We passed the Baikal Lake and Irkutsk yesterday. Heavy traffic and dense population along the road.

Mongolia - about to say Goodbye

I uploaded about 10 pics into the webalbum.. so if you follow the photo link you will find them.

Unfortunately the computer cannot connect with my camera anymore, so more photos when we're back home... or maybe from Russia.

Tomorrow we will head towards the border, then home.

We're planning to be in Europe around September 10. I have no idea if we'll be able to get through Russia that quickly, but I hope we do. On September 16 I will be back in Munich. Only three weeks of travelling. I can't believe how quickly this trip passed...

On the road again

Well, actually we're having a day off today. But we reached asphalt and Ulanbaatar yesterday. Today we'll just walk around town and tomorrow or the day after head towards Russia.
We had an a great time in this vast country, and I will definitely return. Before getting to Mongolia we heard the wildest stories about the roads, or better tracks, and how it would be difficult to get water and petrol, how boring it would be, nothing to see.... none of this turned out to be true. Or maybe were just extremely lucky by picking our way around all difficult areas and towards the nice places. We never had any problems with petrol stations, the motorbikes were good mooded and apart from my rear suspension, which is about to retire, we had no mechanical problems. We didn't even have a flat tire. We didn't break any bones, had no crashes... and so we cannot come up with exciting life-threatening adventure stories. At the moment I cannot even upload pictures - I have to go for a walk around the city - but I'll try to do that later.
