From Russia with Love

Well, I admit, I am a bit disappointed. I definitely expected more. Something like a tall guy with fur cap, having his kalaschnikov machine gun strapped to his chest. And maybe a few tanks, barb wire and a few helicopters, yes helicopters would have been nice.
Or at least a black limousine with one or two guys wearing dark sun glasses inside who stare at us, only waiting for us to do one false move.

But the Russian border station looks pretty much like any other border station I've seen so far. Well, I guess cold war ended up here in the north as well.

At least the weather is a bit Siberian today, cold and a bit of rain all day. And the thermometer outside the cabin says it is -4 centigrade. But that one is probably as much
exaggerating as Toni's usually is. That one reported optimistic 16 degrees earlier today.
