MOTHER RUSSIA!!
... and it’s not in the bar.
The ferry docks in mother Russia mid afternoon and then starts the passing of pieces of paper. No real idea what I’m doing or what they’re doing I don’t leave the customs until 6pm. The Frenchies are good ones and they feed me and we drink French wine to wile away the hours.
