Day 22
A few hundred kms up the very good Russian roads brought us to Barnaul, and a very welcome hotel stop after 5 days on the road. After chilling in our rooms we had a huge meal and some beers before hitting the town. Apparently the only place to go was a club called Chaplins....so a little apprehensive we queued up for our first taste of a Russian nightclub....and it ws a brilliant night!! every now and again the dancefloor is cleared and various acts come on - including a fire eater and a body builder! Needless to say, heads are a bit sore today and our 8am start hasn't quite materialised. We're pushing to the Mongolian border today, ready to cross tomorrow....
