It never rains but it pours

So, down to the port at 9am, and it was pouring down, lashing down, or just plain old p155ing down. To minimise the amount of carry on luggage, most of our riding gear was stashed in the panniers on the so, it was a very wet ride for the the couple of km to the port.

Once there, we sat dripping for a good hour, to get the initial paperwork sorted, then it was a splish and a splosh down to some other wretched customs building to get the registration details recorded;

Mr Customs decided it was too wet for him to check this, so he sent us on our way with instructions to return later at 1pm. And at 1pm, to return the next morning at 9am!!

At least this gave us some more time to search Vladivostock for a new front wheel :-(
