Update from Chelyabinsk-Sunday

Chilling here in the sun today as we discovered at breakfast that we have progressed so far east that it was in fact lunch and we had jumped another 2 hours ahead. Good excuse for a breakfast beer and the best coffee we have had in Russia. The place to go for some Thai, Japanese or French grub including GOOD coffee…The CafĂ© Vintage near the central square www.cafe-vintage.ru . The manager Katrina and her boyfriend are meeting us for a drink tonight at ….yes…you have guessed….The Irish bar?

Managed to get a map book of Russia at last and then took a couple of photos at the city's main square – attached. Also attached is an interesting photo from yesterday. This is a village made up of many very small houses, almost hut size. They are wooden and some have very ornate carvings around the windows and eaves. Each has an allocation of land which is always cultivated.
