Daqing
Hello from China. We are into the winter clothes section of our journey.At last we could wear them in Heihe. 780kms across the river into Russia! We had our Russian lunch fare, with the Caviar. Shashlick was excellent and the beer only costs 1 ringgit a large bottle!Hei He is full of Russians who come over on a one day visa to just shop. This border town is right now a cowboy town but full contruction is going on like the rest of the journey we have been on.
Took the river trip and experienced the bitter cold. Very nearly fell off the stairs too!
Wudalinchi to Hei Hei is called the Geological tourist area, volcanoes and lakes and wet lands.
Qiqiha- the Red Head Cranes. Just beautiful.
Convoy- Chitty chitty bang bang had two punctures. her driver is down with the flu and the "Trots"
We have the super 4x4 machos whom I shall name Ninjas. Ninja helped pump her tires till we got to a garage.
Ninja 7 coulod not start the snext morning as her electronics could not work. so we left her as we went to climb the volcones of Wudulanchi and see her five volcanic lakes.
electronics sorted and Ninja 7 is also back with us.
Ninja 8's wife is down with such a bad cough and is thinking of going home!
Thant's all for now, till the next stop. Hopefully.

Actually at the narrowest point it is only 780 meters across the river from
China to Russia and not kms.
Ninja 9's wife was having the bad cough, not 7. But she is still with us now and feeling very much better.
