Siberian Safari Club Hotel Krasnoyarsk

... destination that will mark the entrance to Asia, the first non european country of our trip. But what about Russia? We are leaving, after a special time, after a country that is as huge as the hearts of its inhabitants, as mighty as the strength of their resolve, full of open landscapes as her people are, as varied as the races that live here. The last leg of our journey was not the end, but a beginning, of the end of the homesickness , of the apprehension of what's going to ...

... During the day I read a bit, played cards and eat mainly. The views have thus far not very good it has mostly been trees. I am having banna sandwiches for lunch and noodels for dinner which I will be having over the next few days. There is a hot water dispenser at the end of the hallway . I managed to have my first shower as well or sink whoer as it is ...

... fine... all the room had different amounts of beds all catering to the old soviet times. The ceilings and corridors where massive and there was only one bathroom per floor of about 40 rooms so it was a good 60 meter walk to the jacks... and the showers were actually two floors below the hotel down in the basement which was a laugh too. It ****** snow on us the first day and the wind made it icy cold but we still got about the city and saw a few less than ...

... Med izumi, ki jih pleme Goldi prav tako ni poznalo je sodilo tudi kolo. Sicer je zacudenje ob tem v bistvu malo pretirano, saj se tudi danes zivijo dolocena plemena v Arkticnem krogu na severu Sibirije, ki prav tako niso prisla kaj dalj od sulice in ognja iz kamnov. Se bolj nerazviti kot ti pa so nekatera plemena na Andamanskem otocju ter okoliskih otokih, za katera ze desetletja potekajo pravi prepiri v znanstvenih krogih ali naj se jim ...

... Rucksack und dann noch eine riesengroße karierte Tasche - ganz Russen-Style. Dann war noch das Problem, den Bahnsteig zu finden und die Zeit ist immer knapper geworden. Als wir dann endlich auf der Zielgeraden waren, haben uns ein paar Leute angesprochen, wo wir denn her sind und wohin wir fahren und so weiter. Wir waren eigentlich nicht in der richtigen Stimmung für derartige Konversationen, aber es hat sich herausgestellt, dass die von einem franz ...

... Kaverimme Fen ja Du ovat kylla ihan mahtavia heppuleita. Hopottavat meille kiinaks jotain ja sit kattovat ihmeissaan, et ettekste nyt noin yksinkertaista asiaa tajua. Ne syo ihan helvetin paljon nuudelia. Syo ne kyl kaikkee ihmeellistakin kanan varpaista alkaen ja tarjoovat aina meillekkin. Ulkonaosta riippuen joko maistan tai en. Annika tietysti ei, jaa paitsi kurkkua. Huomaatteko miten jannaa. Syomista... Kirjoittelen kohan on jotain asiaa. Pistanpa kuvia nyt ainakin.

... which made the whole experience ten times better, as it is our first snow this year and our first snow in Russia. We were like little kids at Christmas! We only had 2 days in Perm, so we spent our time walking around the town, and checking out the sights as we came across them. The guide book was not very detailed when it came to Perm, so it was a case of finding things for ourselves. We found a beautiful little church, which we went inside of, only to come face to ...

... times to make conversation they struggled to understand and didn't seem to want to make any effort to try. I felt a little awkward as the two younger girls chatted away and seemed to look me up and down, so I just buried my head in my book, and wrote a bit of this. At around 9am Moscow time a lady from the restaurant came and spoke to us but it was in Russian and I couldn't understand, the others seemed to take it in and I guessed it wasn't important but I later found out that we had a ...

... one of the family, Katia, would be our translator/guide on the 2 excursions we had booked!!!!!! In a city of a million people it really is a small world!! More updates as the computers and internet allow. Cheers Gordon P.S. Thanks to everyone for the birthday messages!! My actual birthday was a bit of a non event, the big treat was McDonalds for lunch & it was a real treat......that should sum up our current food situation...... Nat

... bathroom was bad, but i psyched myself up for a hike to a cold shower. i mimed shower to the cleaner who took my up 2 floors where a lady in an office said "he pabotet" (not working). Reader, I cried. Scott then had the experience of watching a tearful and ranting me wash myself, like a child, in the room with the washbasin and a flannel. so we went out for some saturday fun. legged it across 4 lanes of traffic to the riverside and walked ...
