The last 420km to Kabarovsk was a mixture of tarmac and gravel We never knew if it would last, but as we rode across a long bridge over the huge river into Khabarovsk, I knew the tarmac would stay. We made it!
The Hotel Turist wouldn't let us stay for two nights. If we stayed for three we would have to register. One night is fine but there is no rule for two nights so that is a problem.
One night it is then...
After a morning spent taking turns in an internet cafe, we decided to head towards Vladivostok. Two bikers shouted 'respect' and told us to look for the Iron Tigers in Vladivostok. A guy pulled up alongside me and shouted 'All the way from London? You Superman!' Well, I didn't like to argue...
The obligatory storm followed us, finally catching up when we got held up by a guy and his girlfriend, obviously enjoying some medicinal vodka. A few more people arrived, photos were taken but we needed to get going before we got soaked. Not many places to camp, so a track around a field had to do. We shared a spot with some spiders the size of golf balls, and settled down to watch a beautiful sunset over Northern China, about 20km away.
