The road took us deeper into Russian territory and we felt pretty good about it. The roads became poorer and poorer, to the point where we felt like we had arrived in a third world country. The going got tough and was surely proving to be a test of things to come.
Another night was spent wild camping and Anna was really getting more comfortable with the idea. Lack of options precluded any discussion anyways, shady road side motels were few ...

2 Tage per Stopp, 1200 km ein ehrgeiziges Ziel. Nicht unmoeglich, ein bisschen unwahrscheinlich, einen Versuch Wert - paidiom!
Viele kleine Etappen erwarten uns in den naechsten Tagen - die grundsaetzlich sehr hitchhiker freundlichen Russen machen einem immer wieder Mut, selbst an den unmoeglichsten Stellen findet sich doch ...
