October 19 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °CLovely chalet, so quiet. Lots of trees, of various colours. Very few people here as it's out of season now. Beach is about 2 minutes walk from the chalet and you can hear the waves on the shore from the outside dining area. Heading into the sauna soon!
October 19 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 8 °CToday we go to the chalet. It's about 40 minute drive from the apartment but we will be off the grid until our return on Tuesday. We did have periods of time on the train with no internet, but it usually returned when we were near a town. Looking forward to celebrating Victoria's birthday with herRead more
October 18 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °CWe are on the 5th floor of the apartment, so fab views of the woods and the sea. No lift though, so have to carry everything up. Washing line hanging off the balcony, 2 balconies, 1 either side of the apartment.
Lynn DesportAmazing. Glad your having a great time with so much to see. I'm just off to Kats after doing my ironing. How mundane 😂😂xx
October 18 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 11 °CWent to Nahodka to be registered, a bit like Joseph and Mary! Victoria has bought a new apartment and we went to one place to register that, but had to go elsewhere to register us! We then looked over part of the docks - there are 80 kilometres of them. Never seen so much coal. We then went for aRead more
October 17 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °CWe left Vladivostok at 2 p.m. The train station was lovely, with a painted ceiling. The train journey is 5 hours long and we have around 1 hour left. Once on Nahodka, Victoria's mum will meet us and take us to their house, which is around half an hour away. Going through some lovely countryside withRead more
October 16 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 11 °CWent for a walk around Russiky island today. We wanted to go to a military museum, but it was shut. The 2 lane road road we were on suddenly disappeared and we then went down a track, only to be let out miles from anywhere!! The walk down the lane was lovely though, warm and quiet. We then walked upRead more
October 15 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 9 °CBeen around Vlad today starting off with the view point, overlooking the suspension bridge and the harbour. The picture of the 2 men is a statue of the 2 men who invented the Russian alphabet in 845. We then went on a funicular and walked towards the sea. As today is 15th October, we saw theRead more
October 15 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 4 °CWell, we arrived in Vladivostok on time this morning. George and Victoria were on the platform waiting for us and we then got a taxi to the hotel. It's a Time hotel, a little like the Tune hotels in Asia. It's so nice to have a bed that isn't moving! The view from our window isn't as good, but we'llRead more
Lynn DesportA proper bed/bedroom must feel huge after your tiny compartment. It must be good to finally be with George & Victoria. Have a great time together. Xx

Here on time and for 1 hour 10 minutes. It's cold out there too. Lots of people have got off, including our waitress! Hope she comes back! Also the restaurant car has been unloading lots of boxes. Hope this means that Stu and I aren't going to fight over the last crust for tea 😂😂.
SeemsRead more
Lynn DesportIf left my phone at work on Saturday so catching up with you. Well done on your survival 😂😂xx
Debra RasmussenSounds like you’re both trained out - what a fab adventure you’re having - stay warm Xx
October 14 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -3 °C
Or not gained an hour, as we are now 9 hours ahead of England! So we've lost another, definitely the last one and we are now on the same time zone as Victoria and George!!
In Oblichye, an autonomous Jewish blast.
