Instead of riding the bike today, I could enjoy a ride in a taxi to the airport of Krasnoyarsk. We checked in and went upstairs to watch the runway. There were some private jets and a big, new looking Boeing 777-300 ER from aeroflot. We would fly in the latter one.

We got in the large plane on row 49. Most rows have 8 seats, the total number of seats is 451. It was a very comfortable flight with a duration of 4 hours and a half. During the flight we had to turn our watches back 4 hours.

Once in the Sheremetyevo airport of Moscow, everything went smooth. We collected our luggage and bought a ticket for the aeroexpress. This is an electric train which goes from the airport to the green line metro station Belloruskaya. From there we had to change to the grey line and get out at tsvetnoy bulvar. Then a little walk and we were at the hostel. Once inside we had a walkaround by a friendly american guy. His name is Scott and he is from Nevada, he appeared to be riding a GSA as well, from 2010. It became even better when he even had the latest Adventure Rider magazine 🙂

We were happy to be in Moscow. It was now time to relax and wait for the bike. The bike should arrive on the second of September. In the meantime we did some site seeing, of course. To be honest, we have both a bit enough of site seeing and prefer to relax now.

We also met with an English biker Tony P. He is famous in the adventure riding world by doing whole BAM road. He is a real kind gentleman. Tony also introduced us to Walter C, the man behind Sibirsky Extreme. It was a nice evening, as we had diner in a belgian restaurant. I had my favourite dish, a good steak, with a belgian beer 🙂
