Its monday, and hopefully today, finally we will get out of Tomsk. Yesterday, we left Tomsk.
The road into Tomsk joins at the south of this small city, then skirts around the west and north before it turns into a b road due east to rejoin the M road bound Krasnayarsk.
We left yesterday around 4.30 in the afternoon, keen to crack on and put in a couple of hundred miles.
As we left, we both felt really sad to be leaving, neither of us wanted to, but we had to. Somewhere not far from Tomsk we must have missed the fact the road branched, We stayed on what we thought was the right road for over 40 miles when it suddenly ended in a poor run down village. We were gestured, when shown a map to go back. Eventually with the light fading we saw the right turn off, just 5kms outside of Tomsk. We elected with the light fading to get a cheaper place and hit the sack ready to go hardcore today.
We woke up this morning and went internet cafe number 1, half way through putting up the update a massive thunder storm started and the whole place went down, with 2 hours estimate to fix given, we trudge on to cafe number 2 where I am now writing this from.
Funny thing is, when we arrived in Tomsk there was a huge rainbow, when we left there was a huge rainbow, when we got back after our 3-4 hour country drive yesterday, you guessed it. Now we are actually keen to get out. It seems like ground hog day, all roads and rainbows lead to Tomsk
So next time we write, don't be suprised if eathquakes have cut off all roads out.
We are now off for another attempt to get out this place speak soon.
