2019-08-02 Day 309 Fri


A gorgeous morning. A bit of mist wafting past on the water. 
 
Stove still giving problems and will only start in the morning if engine is running and will often stop when we turn the engine off. ERRRR! 

Finally my tea was brewe and got some blogs published and written though finding a lot of pictures have not been uploaded….
Had a chat to Muff and Puff then finally left close to 1300hrs.
Roads are mainly good and we made good time.

Taking the long way round to Krasnoyarskas as we have the time. Service is booked for monday. Lots of more big fields.
There are not many roads on the map. A bit like Queensland I guess. Lots of space and few people.
We turned east as soob as we could and were heading for the Krasnoyarskoye reservoir.
In these countries one normally pays for the fuel in at the cashier then the pump stops at the appropriate time. We go in and say full and often just fill up then pay. Today however the lady did not know what full meant so wrote down 40l 50L 60L and shrugged shoulders. She smiled and said OK. I had to leave my card with her. The pump however stopped at 60 liters. Oh well enough for now.
Turned onto a white road and drove through pines, then to a site overlooking the lake oziero Bol’shoi Bierchikul.
There were plenty of March flies around and I am not keen on their bite. A few cars came by to the lookk out and gazed out over the lake. One group had some English. The lady told me she had twins and 8 other adopted kids and the other lady had 5 adopted. The children were not with them, just one of the boys. Anyway she asked with the help of her son and google translate if they could camp near us. We said sure and off they went to rip sections off trees and chop rotten bits out of trunks. 
 
They seemed to have a pile of wood in no time some still with green leaves. 
 
However they were still up enjoying themselves as we showered and went to bed.
