Last week with the good wi-fi connexion , Filip had contacted the club of VW bus fans in Russia (here they have mostly T4 and T5). Since morning we got the number of one of them, so that all day long the guys unloaded our bus from heavy pieces (spare engine, gearbox, cylinder, etc.) and helped Flip work on the suspensions, in a nice friendly atmosphere. On evening, one of them director of the autobus compagny of the city, invited us to psend the night in his house on the road to Kazan. Filip waned to please him and accepted to spend evening drinking vodka: next day it was terribly hard to stand up and go! However we made it to Kazan late in the night, the city was illuminated like Las Vegas. Then we crossed Tatarstan, the landscape is now made of hilly fields instead of flat land and forests and lots of small petrol driling sites are along the road. We also met a family of free horses. One night we slept in a forest and almost get stuck in the mud to go back to the road after rainy night! On saturday we arrived in Tuymazy, in a very nice small family. Valeriy and Irina hosted us with tchai, bortsch, beer, blinis and bania (sauna), their 4 year old son plays alone and Elios also, so relax! We also help them prepare a trip to France in a couple of weeks. On monday we passed Ural mountains, and now we are in Asia! Here Kurgan, waiting to discover the city with the next Couchsurfer.
Augusta, Filip and Elios travelling from Poland to Asia with VW buses from July 2011 to March 2012. We're back home. Thanks to all our friends!
