Shake rattle and roll on the Siberian Highway

The gravel pit campsite was actually pretty good - not many mosquitoes!!

Another day on the Siberian Highway - and more of the same, terrible roads - bikes and bodies would be taking another battering over the day's 350 odd miles.

Still, at least there were fuel stations every 100 miles or so - but that was about it. Next to no Cafe or shops (and no the petrol stations sell nothing but petrol);

The highway was finally closed just North of Svobodnyy, so a 40km detour along some beautiful roads;

Back on the main Siberian Highway, we luckily came across a canteen used by the flocks of transit drivers driving Japanese import cars - and the food was great, although whilst pointing and gesticulating to get our chosen food, we had to resort to the old 'PING' sound whilst pointing, to make sure the food would be warmed for us!

Finally we arrived at camp - a mosquito infested site ! NICE !!
