Day 12, Sochi

Had a good nights sleep after interresting stroll last night. A lot of construction sites due to upcoming winter olympics 2014- and between that the expected russian disco scene ;-).
People are friendly and helpfull, hardly any english or german though- what to expect the further east we travel.
Sochi definately has a mediteranian touch to it- mixed with a definate ostblock element. A city rapidly changing and full of people from all over the former soviet union.

We got our bike insurances today- no big deal (45€ for 3 months), thanks to google translator running on the PC

The city feels warm and fairly humid and it does rain once or twice a day. Judging by the torrential downpour yesterday, we might be in for some wet riding over the days to come. We are planning to leave tomorrow towards Krasnodar- we will decide on the exact route as we go. Depends mainly on the traffic and the condition of the roads- ah yes, and dont forget the weather!
