      Chalet in the woods

      19. lokakuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Lovely 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!Lue lisää

      View from apartment

      18. lokakuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      We 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.Lue lisää

      We've reached the ocean

      3. huhtikuuta 2018, Venäjä ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Off the train at Vladivostok. Finn and James will be flying home from here. Jonas is spending a couple of days in a proper bed before heading all the way back to Moscow in 3rd class.

      We will be taking to the water. Our ferry for tomorrow is already waiting. No paddling though - the ferry channel is open but a lot of the sea is still rather solid.

      The hotel cat has given us a cautious welcome. The museum cat's duties do not include greeting visitors.      Lue lisää

      Vladivostok

      28. lokakuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

      Forgot to post pictures from our 17th floor balcony yesterday. However, there are night views and sunrise this morning. We can see the suspension bridge right in front of us and if you look to the right, you can see part of the marina. We went back to the Georgian restaurant last night, which was lovely. Not quite sure what we have planned for today, but we'll make a move soon.Lue lisää

      Furniculi, furnicular

      3. huhtikuuta 2018, Venäjä ⋅ 🌙 5 °C

      And other Vladivostock miscellanea.

      Most of the attractions here tend to the military, and we've certainly seen a good number of monuments, war memorials and battleships. Didn't really feel the need for a military history museum as well. So once we'd tracked down the ferry ticket offfice and paid for those, we headed to the local history museum. Very interesting - concentrates on neolithic up to about 10th century, then has a special display on a local late 19thC naturalist/mapper/explorer, and 2 Lenin rooms. And a very smart museum cat (see previous post for pic). Sadly he had important business elsewhere so couldn't stop to chat.

      After lunch at Coffee Company (no real veggie optiond, but splendid hot chocolates with a choice pf non-fairy milks) we walked along the non-frozen harbour for a bit then up to the furnicular railway. Excellent value at 14 roubles a trip, with a walk at the top to an observation platform. We were just trying to work put the way back down wjen we realised we were in the middle of the very small) road, with a car coming. Lept to tje sides to let it pass, only to discover it contained the only other person we know currently in the city. Quick chat with Jonas, then worked our way down to the local Arbat equivalent in search of promising places for dinner.

      The guidebook promised an Italian restaurant that does 'probably the best pizza east of the Urals'. Not having tried any others this side of the Urals we weren't in a position to verify this claim, but thought it a promising recommendation. Except it wasn't there. Nor was our backup option, another branch of Shashlikoff, which we'd found good in Ulan Ude. Eventually located the latter up a rickety set of stairs. Passed a Moomintroll place that didn't look very Moomintrolly at all (turns out it is named after a local rock band, which is named after the Moomintrolls).

      Where the pizza restaurant should have been there was ... well, we're not sure what it was. The sign with the name was too stylised to read and the tableau outside (last picture) really didn't help. Answers on a postcard.

      Retired to 5 o'clock - an English tea room - to consider matters. Had tea under the watchful eye of her maj, and concluded a retreat to the hotel room to pack for the ferry was in order. While doing that I had a quick Google and found the pizza place had moved a block down, so we wandered back there and had quite decent Italian food.      Lue lisää

      First night out of Vladivistok

      26. kesäkuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Finally! After a nearly 3 week delay, Lola has arrived yesterday!
      It was very late when I brought her home.
      To get the car into the container I had to let some air out of the tyres. After unloading, I wanted to pump up the tyres, but when unpacking the air compressor I found that the curled hose had totally disintegrated and fallen into lots of pieces. Waiting for help. Yuri, my Russian shipping agent and I had still some shipping business to finalise, so he brought along an air compressor. What would we Overlanders do without Yuri!
      After dinner with Yuri I drove home. As I wanted to get a head start for the next morning, I drove to the supermarket to stock up with all the stuff I still needed.
      The Carpark is very narrow (oh we spoilt Aussies) so I took one corner too short and bumped into a super loved and polished old timer car. Got out of it with 200$US . Sounded like a good deal to me, but involved a lot of discussion, talking and waiting.
      And then the welcome Rexel gave to Lola! He was overjoyed, jumped onto his bed and did not want to come into the house with me.
      This morning, after packing up and sorting out the van it was time to say goodbye to my new found friends Katya and Vera. Katya has extra baked some apple and berry pies for me, Vera presented me with Vietnamese Coffee ( you should try it one day. Really yummy!), Russian chocolate and honey.
      Now I had to get a hose for this air compressor and fill up my gas bottle. After driving around Vladivostok for hours I did not succeed with any of it i had to find different solutions.
      So I ended up buying a cheap compressor to make use of its hose and a gas cooker. In the process I got to close again to another car in an even tighter car park in China town, which this time resulted in no damage to the other car but to mine.
      Just a small dint, doesn't bother me, but my driving confidence is shaken by now. I only tinted 2x in my hole life and now 2x within 24 hours. What's going on??!!
      Finally at 4o'clock I'm headed out of town.
      Now , at around 5 he is making himself known. He had been extremely patient with me so I drove off the highway to find a spot where I could take him for a walk.
      Once you leave the highway there are mainly really bad dirt roads. So I travel along this really horrible dirt road, when I, I kid you not, drive the left front wheel into a ditch, so it it is air borne. Here I am stuck again! Can you believe this? For no reason! Thank goodness a truck comes along and to my rescue. He has really deserved some of Katja's apple pies!
      I took this as a sign to call it a day! I hadn't realised how stressed I must have been. Time to rest and have a good sleep. There will be a new start tomorrow!      Lue lisää

      Russiky Island

      16. lokakuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      Went 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 up to a look out and looked over the other side of the island, towards the sea. It was lovely.
      We then caught a bus to the university and walked around there. Its 3 universities in 1 and its enormous! We then got a taxi back to the restaurant where we had tea last night. We have had another lovely meal here and are just planning how to get to Nahodka tomorrow on the next leg of our adventure.      Lue lisää

      Trip to Nakhodka

      26. lokakuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

      We went on a trip to Nakhodka today with an English speaking tour guide and her husband, who also spoke English. They gave us the history of Nakhodka and showed us where the first house was built in the 1830's. There will be a museum there one day but at the moment it's just a field. We then went to a lookout where there is a monument to some sailors who lost their lives in a boating disaster. The monument of a woman and child was paid for by the shipping company. It can be seen as the boats enter the harbour. They also took us to the Japanese stone gardens, which were presented to Nakhodka from a Japanese town (forget which one) when they twinned in 1981. We then went to a lookout on the opposite side of the bay, where we could see the coal waiting to be shipped out, either by boat or by train.Lue lisää

      Vladivostok

      11. heinäkuuta 2018, Venäjä ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      After 67 hours in the train (a journey not to be missed) we arrive in Vladivostok and are met by Svetlana our guide and a driver who immediately take us for a late lunch in ine if Vladivostok's finest seafood restaurants (on tbe company of course). They p ride themselves on quality seafood, our chef prepares seacucumber for us and though we know we shouldn't we do and its really nice. A softer texture than abalone with a light oyster flavour.
      I do intend to leave all other seacucumber when th hey belong cleaning up the ocean floor.
      Its our duty then to be driven around the city with an expert guide (but after 67 hours in the train its a bit tiring)
      Fortunately I secombe to a crook tummy and leave them to it and check into the motel.
      I am sure vodka is the cure. I will let you know.      Lue lisää

      Wladiwostok - first impressions

      3. kesäkuuta 2019, Venäjä ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      We made it! We are in Russia, in particular in Wladiwostok, all the way on the East Coast.
      Russia is a country neither of us has been to yet and seems a bit daunting, to be honest.
      We had already been super excited about our granted visa (the process is not the easiest but actually fairly straight forward if you got all the information), but I think we were even happier once we passed immigration (Tom: I almost peed my pants when they triple checked my passport!!).

      Russia is such a vast country, I still can't quite believe we'll be driving through it in a few days!
      We can't start yet, as we're waiting for Hans to arrive.
      Hence, we're staying in a cute hostel, high up in the hills (Wladiwostok is also called San Francisco of the East) and prepare for our adventures.
      Firstly, we learned a few phrases Russian and read about food&culture. Then it was time to go out and explore.

      The city feels quite welcoming and nice to stroll through once you have overcome your initial culture shock. Tom is even already able to read the Cyrillic alphabet (and I try, too), hence street and shop names as well as the signage can be deciphered and suddenly everything doesn't seem so strange and foreign anymore.
      We also discover beautiful neighbourhoods, great street art and nice coffee places and we manage to get a few smiles from people we try our Russian on. I firmly believe this will be a great adventure.      Lue lisää
