Hamroast is ready but very tired...still, we have dumplings and borscht to look forward to and can wash it down with vodka for lunch tomorrow...

if you're reading this then we've been kind (or unkind depending on your ilk) enough to send you our blog details...we'll try to keep it interesting and we'll start to upload some photos to flickr.

we're both particularly looking forward to meeting the man in the russian bania in our Siberian lodgings...check the photos here:
