Arrived in Volgograd a few hours ago after a “brief” 250 mile, 5 hour ride. Just spent £20 quid on wifi access. I’ve had faster dial up connections! So again attempts to upload vids & pics from my camcorder impossible. Very frustrating. 3g seems ok though.

Anyhoo … Volgograd is the first major milestone for me. And looks like an fascinating city. Doing a sight seeing trip tomorrow then tracking down a mechanic to do some work on the bike.

Will try to find internet caff tomorrow to do uploads.
