I think that if we want to mix in with the locals, we need camouflage stuff – clothes, Esky covers, camera lens covers … you name it, there’s a cameo version or cover for it! J xx

So true, although I wouldn’t like to take my chances trying to get out of here with a messed-up visa. I think these guys would make our Russian experience look like it was a positive experience! Greg read about a guy who overstayed by a week and ended up in prison for months

Armed with a can of bear spray and no deodorant for several months and a vault toilet strapped to the bonnet of the car I have a sense that you both mixing in well with the locals.
Great to hear the adventure continues and you both loving it and hope you have not learned to squeal like a hog yet.
Yours

A lot of the time I can’t tell if an oncoming rig is an RV or a tourist bus until we’re passing it. I wonder if drivers of those huge RVs need any special driver’s licence
