We woke in the suburbs and headed into town to re-unite team Allegro and to eat.
We all met up and headed for a cafe. From here, Allegro and Hyding to Nothing would convoy to the Mongolian (Western border), Alex and I were to head to Novosibirsk and beyond.
After eating we all went our separate ways.
Alex and I made progress and were through Novosibirsk late afternoon.
We headed on to Kemorovo where, at some point, the car started to emit a terrible grinding noise - the front brakes has finally gone. The noise was terrible. We stopped in Kemorovo and tried to find a Nissan dealer - it was too late. Hotels were exhorbitant so we drove on until we came across a rather isolated motel.
A large Russian lady greeted us and were were shown to our rooms (300 roubles). We passed stuffed bears and shabby sofas on the way to our rooms.
To my shock, we were both sharing rooms with other people. I went to bed clutching my 'man bag'. I heard my fellow occupant come in and ignored him. I soon heard him snoring - I relaxed enough to drop off.
