Russia is MASSIVE!
Once we got over the Ural Mountains we where no longer in Europe but in Asia! Tootaloo gay boys!
Then we drove for four days across the vast Siberian plane which is amazing and dead flat for the whole of it! Eagles, some of the worst roads and bridges ever, more flat land with no one living there, 36 degreesin the day, 'that #¥@* lives there!', a bridge that may be one of those 'pivot bridges' or may be ferried across the river and even more flatness!
Highlight: we went down the M62, which tractors would refuse to drive down in England, and got to possibly the worst bridge ever! Nobby was driving the late shift so me and Dunny where battered and coming up with the most retarded explanations for the bridge! As we drove across 'just put your foot down before they charge us!' We noticed a tent! He did in actual fact live there! We spoke no Russian. (Although we are Fluent now though) he spoke no English, he gave up on us and didn't charge us! Jackpot! After the bridge the road got worse and with big sal in first we (Nobby) hoped for the best... Meanwhile me and Dunny took turns falling asleep with shoes on. I got bananaed and Dunny again had a penis drawn artistically on his head.
Genuinely we have loved it! The scenery didn't change loads but it was like one great view for the four days. Three time zones later and we are shattered and ready for the Altai mountains. Bring on the rafting!
