Transit – Day 1

Day of tons of travelling. Stop over in Colombo, flight change at Dubai, airport transfer in Moscow and finally waiting for a flight to Vladivostok.

Very tiring travel but emirates takes food care of it’s passengers.

Food in Moscow airports is freaking expensive. But need to eat to survive :)

Moscow is doing about -10c in the day and dipping to -15 in the evenings. Tried a walk around at this temp and serious freeze is entering the body. Does not help that I have checked in my warmest clothes on the flight and trying out the weather in a mild fleece and glove liners.

Shooting pics in this temp is a strain as I cannot keep my hands from shaking. Née to get acclimatized soon and hit the far east that is ringing in at -25 to -30. Going to be fun surviving in the next couple of weeks.

Travelling today

Starting my travel today. I would not have regular updates as I am carrying neither a laptop nor do I expect to have frequent wifi access and potentially my phone will be out of battery.

Am traveling out 5 time zones and coming back 7 time zones. Guess it is too much flying for a day. But I need to do that to reach my starting station. Which is….

Vladivostok.

Mor updates when I can.
