Today they rode about 400km. The first 300 on a coarse dirt road that was very dirty but then all of a sudden they were riding on a nice asphalt road with streetlights. It didn't last long and before they knew it there were cement blocks blocking their way. Some Russians on a 4WD directed them towards a country road surrounded by fields and plains.

It's getting warmer during the night which was expected as their altitude is only ab out 150m there.

Yesterday going to the store it filled with people.  Sverrir took pictures and spoke in Icelandic too them. As they were about to leave an employee came along with a picture of all the employees and asked them to autograph it for them. This has been a reoccurring thing during their trip.

Then today at the store they met an approx. 12yr old girl who spoke pretty good English and asked them where they were from and chatted for a bit. After that a guy who was a bit tipsy asked them for their autograph.

Einars odomoter is at 15'555 at the moment which makes their average about 402km a day. 

The tires are working out well, taking everything they've thrown at them.

Tomorrow they'll try and find their way to the direct road to Vladivostok but they've got about 1'700km to get there.
