They woke up this morning at 7 in the cold and pouring rain. Departure was delayed until 11 in the hope of the weather getting better but finally they gave up and packed their things and headed on.

Now they're at the city Chita after having ridden about 300km. The city was gray and dreary when they approached it. Riding around the city looking for a hotel a man called out of a car "Problemo?". Sverrir stopped to talk to him and told him they were looking for a place to spend the night. They followed him to a Chinese hotel nearby. After talking a bit more they discover that he's a mechanic and has a garage where he offered them to store the bikes as the hotel didn't have any accommodations. It'll be interesting to see if they'll still be there in the morning.

When they got in touch they'd had a nice Chinese dinner and afterwards the Karaoke was brought out. It didn't go with the story if they'd sung anything or not.

Tomorrow is a Russian holiday. They'll use the time to change tires as it's not sure if the roads from now on will have asphalt or concrete on them, it's more likely that they'll be gravel or mud. Einar ended up flat in mud this morning but luckily nothing got damaged and he wasn't hurt.

Their room is looking like a laundry room with their clothes and tent hanging to dry after last night.

With the good time they've made traveling through Russia they should be about a week earlier to Vladivostok than  they'd planned and they should be on the ferry to Japan on June 24th.

Einar is getting bitten by flies again but Sverrir doesn't seem as appetizing to them.
