Things were going to be a lot easier now we were on more stable roads but the wind had changed direction and was now a permanent head wind, limiting our top speed to 60mph. We had a late start and needed to cover 260 miles. It seemed to take forever. I was so bored that I resorted to reading on my kindle. I got most the through a Lesley Pearce novel during the ride!
Andy was starting to get seriously tired, probably because the scenery was so dull. So when we came across the 'M150' energy drink sold by the jar, Andy consumed it in moments. It tasted and smelled like calpol children's medicine. Andy said that the next 100 miles flew by!
We passed some crazy industrial works and power stations, one of which even had a massive live flame coming from a chimney.
We were completely exhausted by the time we reached Volgograd and Andy's pin point on the sat nav took us miles out of town. So after a few tired 'words' were exchanged we opted for the welcome comforts of a nice Hilton hotel. Sod camping on this occasion!
P.S happy world cat day 😸 and happy birthday Alice x
You read a book! Some adventure holiday!!
