Having had a lie in until midday following on from an exciting late night session of listening to the Spurs on a BBC London stream, tweeting, watching the Bale goals via Sacha's emails (cheers dude, you know I'll be expecting this every match now). By the sound of it we were appalling and saved single handedly by Bale.... Same old same old.
Anyway back to the travels....
So after a relaxing night last night reading my latest hostel rescued book (The Diary of Anne Frank currently) with a can of the lovely Baltika, I'm out out about exploring Yekaterinburg. Which incidentally is the first city I've ever been to in Asia being just 17km over the Europe Asia border.
The weather today is superb! Its still chilly in the shade but there are blue skys and bright sunshine. (glad to hear its freezing in London)
Yekaterinburg is very pleasant with many post soviet buildings and a lovely main square.
The hostel I'm staying in is on the 7th floor of a soviet housing block but is actually really cosy and friendly inside.
My train leaves at 4.50am so I've booked a cab and will be attempting to have an early night to try and get some sleep in.
Next stop Tyumen, the first Russian fort in Siberia!
hi mate
ReplyDeletehope your enjoying your travels, strange game we was so poor in the first half.
if you can remember the first leg against young boys you would have a picture of how we played.
then the second half inter took there foot off the pedal and we competed better, and of course then came Bale amazing individual performance.
if we play like we did in the second half then we have a great chance of winning.
take care
jamie
Cheers dude,
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Bale goals, to be honest I'm not that bothered about seeing the first half!!
At the end of the day losing by the odd goal in Milan when the other results went for us is not a disaster!
Role on Everton Saturday (Surely the early kick off is a disgrace!!)
