Thursday 29th to Zabaikalsk in Russia

We needed an early start and even then had to refuel using cannisters filled manually by the pump. It is illegal to fill a bike directly from a pump. Odd law.
So on the border where we get processed very slowly and then after 5 hours get into Russia for a 4 hour wait and finally a short ride to Zabaikalsk.
It was a strange feeling. We parked the bikes down the road, muddy track, in the Police pound, guarded by a surly unsmiling guard with a machine gun.
