What a lovely day we've had. Blue skies, really beautiful countryside, and, just to confuse the marshalls, we have done most of the right things today - time trials down gravel tracks, a couple of circuits round a race track (just what Priscilla was built for...) and got more stamps in our time card than you can shake a stick at. The reception all along the way has been staggering and it seems the deeper one is in the countryside, the better the welcome, so hundreds of people along the route waving with huge smiles and taking photos. Very uplifting stuff and wonderfully encouraging. Roads are new and smooth, and it all feels much more prosperous than Russia. Perhaps for the first time we can thank the EU - at least we can see where the money's going, and our suspension is deeply grateful!
Brilliant to have finally at least partly trained Nigel, but STILL not getting my clothes laid out in the morning as I'm used to. Perhaps the fact that they're the same ones as the day before (and sometimes the day before that) that is the problem. We both commented on what a nice easy day it's been today. Only driving for 9 hours, and it's felt a breeze. Feels incredible to be doing this - we have to pinch ourselves - and loving every minute. Will try and chuck some more photos on later.
