Its that time of the year again when its In-laws visit again and the marathon Birmingham to Nikolayevsk-on-Amure trip!!!

We're going for a new route and method of getting there - I'm never getting on the wretched high speed boat again - so we will take the overnight train from Khabarovsk to Komsomolsk (stay there a few days) then overnight mini-bus from Komsomolsk to Nikolayevsk.

We normally stay with the parents for a week and then do reverse order back again taking a short rest on the way back - booked 2 nights in Moscow on return trip for a chill-out!!!

As usual will probably need to book a holiday when we get back to recover from this one :chuckle:
If you get a minute check out Bruce's TR - Its not quite finished, however its still a pretty good read IMHO.

If I win the lottery I'll finish it this week if not I'll probably complete it when I retire!!! Until then I hope you enjoy the story so far!

Have fun. At least you will be in the middle of wide open spaces when WWIII kicks off next week.
...everything ends always well; if it’s still bad, then it’s not the end!

Very true, we often joke that should you wish to you could easily disappear for ever in these areas - its as far removed from Moscow/St Pete Russia as you can get!!! An outpost in the middle of nowhere for sure!!

There's tribes of folks in Siberia who have done just that. Well, dunno if it is still the case, but it used to be there were wandering hunting groups never seen from one years end to the next. Like a snowy Amazon.
