22 June 2009 Samara, Russia



I worked on my blog, sent some e-mails, and waited for Oleg and Vasilisa to take me to the customs office. We had no luck fixing my motorcycle passport because I wasn’t registered at a hotel in Samara. It was very disappointing, a waste of time for everyone involved, and a day of travel lost for me. We drove to Sergei’s flat, and on the recommendation of Oleg and Vasilisa I decided to buy a mobile phone for communication in Russia. I bought a bottle of Jim Beam and a bottle of wine for Natasha for being great hosts. Sergei and Natasha had another small party again that night. I not sure but it might have been a going away party. Alex and Olga, who I had never met before, attended. Alex gave me a list of telephone numbers that I could call if I encountered problems along my route to Valdivostock. I didn’t get to bed until after midnight.
