Tuesday 9th July, Well here we go again then, to try and cross into Russia. All up pretty early with breakfast in the apartment, dark bread, cheese spread,salami slices and coffee. We had around around a 30 mile ride to the border, the plan was to get there as soon as we could. The first 10 miles where trough the city, though Linny did guide us pretty well through the city. Roads where pretty good going towards the border, though it was pretty busy. The traffic got lighter the closer we got to the border, which was a bit concerning, within 400m of the border you could see a couple of cars queuing, we joined them at first then took the pedestrian route, passed the first guard no problem, carried on through the Ukrainian side in about 10 mins. Then onto the Russian side, we kept the same strategy going in with the pedestrians, got to the first guard, he told us to stop, then came over to us checked our passport gave us a immigration form and made a little joke about needing money to cross! Filled in the form and joined the queue, only around half a dozen people, nothing like the other day, it all seemed a bit relaxed. Keith went through first handed in his passport and document, the border guard asked in perfect English could he speak Russian, Keith answered English only, she never said another word,made a phone call then let him pass in only took 5 min, Linny & I followed with no problem, just a quick look in some of the panniers and we where in. Retrospectively we all thought we should have routed this way in the first place, however trying to reduced the mileage made us choose the other route, lesson learnt.
Had a bit of a lunch break in the border cafe, then pushed on to Belgorod about 24 miles away. The roads where pretty good, even through the road works, soon hit the city limits and cruised in, with Linny leading the way,found the location of the apartment,had a coffee and cake, while waiting for the owner to turn up with the keys. First impression of Russia seems really good, had a few people stop us and ask us where we are from, what are we up to etc. All in all a good day.
