Finally they're back in Russia. It took about 5 hours crossing the border, waiting and doing paperwork. The boarder control looked thoroughly at their papers as they'd not come across many Icelandic people in their job. Mostly there were Mongolians crossing the borders and everything is checked very well before they're allowed into the country.

They rode about 400km total and are now at GMT+9

They're at Ulan-Ude and are on the 9th floor of a hotel. When going to take a shower the hot water was taking its sweet time getting there so it was probably on the colder side.

The bikes were stored in the hotel basement amongst all sorts of pipes and cables.

Tomorrow they'll go to Lake Baikal and then further East.
