Gostinica Zvarka, Volhov

Foggy and 8C start (at 11am!) today not helped by my right glove not heating. Subsequent measurement reveals its resistance is a mlion times the 13.8Ohms of the left. Later the fuse blew (I hope it's the fuse).

All going well until I stopped for a pee then to set off with a completely flat rear. Bugger! 90min later set off with spare inner tube in.

This place has only rooms left in town. Had to pay for a two twin suite but no hot water in the city! (Says a Google translation printout put in front of me here in the cafe.)

A bloke was so impressed with the idea of my trip he's bought me dinner and insisted on a shot of vodka too!
