I’m now 160 km’s east of Novosibirsk the above photo is of a happy boy from Armenia who is selling vegetables and fruit, i had a chat to him and gave him a Dumfries and Galloway Council T shirt for which he was over the moon with. I was hoping to stay in Novosibirsk to wait for car parts two front springs, but they have now been sent ahead of me too Irkutsk so that is where I’m heading to now.
