Year: 2006

Tonight I have returned from my two weeks of vacations in Russia. I’ve been to Moscow (twice), Mezhdurechensk (Kemerovo region, Siberia), and Togliatti (Samara region). I made short notes during my trip that I’ll convert into blog posts. I’ve also made a few pictures which I need to postprocess and upload. I’ll tag all these posts with megatrip2006 tag, so that they’ll be easier to find.

There’s plenty of work to do around the house, and I am still fighting the jet lag, so I’ll need a day or two to come back to normal.

Thank you all for kind words and staying around.

Today is Day D. That is the start of my travels. I am leaving for Russia and I’ll be back only a couple of weeks. I don’t know how well I’ll be connected to the Internet and how much time I’ll have on my hands, so don’t be surprised if there won’t be any updates to my blogs for the next two weeks. I’ll try to post a note or two, but I don’t promise you anything.

Not to worry though. When I come back, I’ll have loads of pictures and stories to tell. I’ll make it up to you. Twice the size and four times the details.

In the meantime, there might also be problems with my home server connectivity. I’ll leave my keys to a friend, who’ll be passing by once in a while to make sure that everything is OK. But if there’s a problem suddenly – don’t panic. It’s just that I am not around to fix it as soon as usual. But it will get fixed eventually.

I wave farewell to all you guys. I’ll see you all in two weeks max!

Today was my last session at the gym before the trip. Considering that I won’t be getting my of any physical training over the next two weeks, my coach (yeah man, you’re my coach) decided to give me some extra load. Sheesh. I’ll have the whole two weeks to recover…

By the way, for the record – I came in to the gym weighting 109.2 kilograms. That is together with yesterday’s beer and sausages. After the session I clocked in at 108.5 kilograms. We’ll see how much I’ll bring back from Russia.

Today is my last day of work. I am going on a two weeks vacations. And for a change, I am going out of Cyprus. It’s time that I go back to Russia and visit my relatives and friends. I haven’t been there for about ten years. I wonder how things changed over there. It feels weird remembering how things used to be and combining these memories with those few bits of information that have about those people and places, trying to develop of these into the picture of today.

To ease my brain a bit I went out with some friends for beer and sausages today. I’ve been doing very well with my diet and excersises, so I decided to take a little vacation from that too…
