This morning we went to the Russian Embassy to seek Visa application to be able to visit Russia again.  After that visit we were infomed that we needed to get what they call invitation.  We had expected that so we went to Thors office with the Red cross and got permittance to use a computer there.  It is like that, you can buy this invitation on the internet.  But while I was working in this Thor called a friend in the russian embassy and then he was told that they in the embassy wouldnt agree this kind of invitation and we needed to seek this with a special person here in the city.  Thor was so kind to take us there.  But when we came there this service had been mooved.  Neither did him or we understand the girl who was trying to explain were it had been mooved and we had to get Thors driver to get this straight. We found the right place and after a little explanation to us and chat we had to pay 125 $ each, yes in dollars and we could pick up this Visa next thursday 2 oclock.  Good !  So we will go from here to north into Russia.  After this Thor went to his office and went to look at famoust places in the city and I took pictures.  We were a typical turist for a part of they day and this was very nice and for the rest of the day we did rest.  The traffic here is crazy and sometimes they drive against the traffic and dont respect the red light etc.  You can only tie you carbelt and hope for the best!  The whistle are used rather much and it is my opinion that many here thinks the whistle will move the cars..because they whistle until something happens and it looks like they think they did it !  Rather funny here.  We have found today that we are a little bit tired so it is good to have a little break here.  We have been riding every day since 8th of may except the one day when we were on the ship to Norway.  So it is nice to be able to rest and think about the past days.  Until next time.

Dear Mr. Thorsteinsson, The papers are in the mail to me at this moment. As soon as I have received them I shall send them on to Japan and confirm it to you per e-mail.



Hope all is well with both of you!
