Some pictures to share

Stairs in the famous GUM department store. Back in the day you could buy anything from a "needle to a live tiger" in this department store. These days it's a bit daggy really, but with beautiful stairways.

High heel gumboots - only in Vladivostok!

For years and years I've wanted a set of babushka dolls, but only from Russia. I never thought I would actually get them, but here they are! They're so beautiful.

This is a "There I Fixed It" moment. I needed a clothes peg and Graeme came up with this idea. Awesome!

Talking with Irina in her office at Silver Wind

Graeme relaxing on the top floor of the Clover House where we had a lovely coffee, a bit of a relax and then to the supermarket downstairs.

And these are the goodies we bought at the supermarket. Couldn't believe our luck that we chanced upon the butane gas canisters for our gas cooker in this supermarket! You can also see in there we bought a portable hard disk from an electronics store down the street to backup our laptop.

These are the little gifts we bought to give to Vladimir and Irina as a thank you for their help with our car.
