You are about to travel into Winter. You will find it very difficult to get around and in an effort to beat the clock and expiration of your Visa you will travel quicker then you had planned and in the process miss much. I am looking forward to your visit and travels through Russia and Ukraine (The country of origin) BUT I know it will be winter. The best time to visit this region is Spring. May. Winter is a very beautiful time also but if you have not spent time in minus 25 degrees before then you will find it difficult. Even though you are fully clothed, it is like standing naked in a freezer. if you can extend your visa I suggest bedding down. If you have time to visit Ukraine please contact me and maybe I can assist in putting you in contact with people of interest. The hard part of your journey is about to commence.

Look forward to more fantastic photos and your choice of food. Try barbecued Ram's Balls (that's the English translation) in Turkey if you pass that way. They tasted wonderful. Some of that rain in the Gorge would be welcome here in Melbourne. stay safe....Joy Ali Jon and Jack,

The photos from China are breathtaking. I don't know how I would have gone walking along the narrow path at Tiger Leaping Gorge. I am terrified of heights. Keep safe - I am looking forward to your next update. Jean Hi Jon and Jack.
