The last couple of days have been quite special. It’s been a hard battle with the endless roads. The road from Chita to Khabarovsk is around 2000 km and about 1600 km of that is gravel.  It’s a strange feeling to ride on roads that are this long. You’re riding for days but still you’re on the same road. This can sometimes get on our nerves, especially when the dust is heavy an when it’s hot. But now we’re in Khabarovsk and have gotten our much so needed showers and a little rest. We went down town last night to relax a little and that was nice besides one unfortunate incident when I realized that someone had stolen my wallet and my cell phone!! Luckily there was nothing in the wallet except a Visa credit card and some other insignificant stuff, so the damage is not a lot. I’ve already asked for a new credit card and a new cell phone card and it will be sent to the Icelandic embassy in Japan. It’s just so frustrating to be robbed like that! Of course I try to be careful but these thiefs are professional and there was no way that I could notice this. It was really crowded there and we were notable so we might have been an easy target. We’ve often been asked how we’ve been able to travel through this big country where nobody understands us. Of course it would be easier if everybody understood us but we’re always able to manage and make us understandable in some way. But this problem will be over when we get to the USA. But now we’re heading to Vladivostok but that will take about 3 days. The ferry will leave next Sunday to Japan but we’re really looking forward to get there. Ttyl - Sverrir
