VILUISKY TRAKT TO VILUISK

Had a really nice run on the Viluisky Trakt today..  rigidy again (that’s my new word), but feeling comfortable and cruisin’. Walter waves me into a café for some lunch.  The villages are more frequent along this stretch and there are roadside café’s for travellers.  This is a true pleasure.  After travelling the Road of Bones, new road and old...

Bike arrives Magadan Russia

Well I didn’t sign up for a holiday when I started this trip… I am worn out, and been pushed so far BEYOND my limits..  Very sore, battered and bruised, but I’m here!! And we finally have made it to a town, Yakustk where I can update my blog!  Many stories and photos to come.. For now though I need to go right back to Magadan… wow...

Vladivostok to Magadan Russia

My new temporary life in Vladivostok is coming to an end.. but not without a bang! Lots of gunfire out in the bay from all those warships.. Walter had read on the internet that things were heating up between North Korea and South Korea, and since we are so close to North Korea, he thought maybe this had something to do with it. Wow, I’ve never been around big...

I might consider that one for myself..  what do ya think.. ?  😉 So it’s another day in the life of Sherri Jo in Russia.. it’s a tough...

Port Vladivostok Russia!

Welcome to Port Vladivostok!! The bikes FINALLY get released from Customs after a completely full day (9 – 5!!) of going from office to office, paperwork after paperwork… fees after fees..  but we have been officially released! No wonder the girls are grumpy, look at the work load on her desk!! Walter organizes a guy from the local motorcycle club...

Sokcho South Korea to Vladivostok Russia!

It’s finally come time to leave South Korea and move on.. I like being on the move. Walter (whom I will be joining for the first portion of Russia:  Magadan to Irktusk) and his bike have arrived from the UK via Seoul.. he gets his bike unpacked from the crate.. of which my tires are included!  We are eventually putting the knobbies back on for the...
