So we’re on the way to Russia. Despite pretty much packing exactly the same, Mike’s bag is much heavier. Taking out three shirts did little ease the load but it was worth trying.
Hopefully we’ll be able to continue this blog(ski) from Russia but might go wrong as we pass through the iron curtain.
We’re incredibly excited and a little apprehensive of the country that seems to get two extremely opposing reactions:
1. Why on earth are you going to Russia? And why are you going for two weeks?
Or
2. Wow. I’ve always wanted to go there!
Well we’ve always had the latter reaction which is why we’re flying into a war zone. As a special EU summit about Georgia and Russia takes place today, it’s going to be interesting to see the story unfold and the reactions from the other side of the curtain.
