tried to take a short cut. Definitely need navigator and driver
as 5th Largest city
Leaving Omsk, we travelled thru 
the very lovely city to a monastry to walk around the fabulous flowering gardens.
We then got a bit lost but found the helicopter park on our way
in from the airport to find the Ekaterynburg motorway.
The land here is one huge vast granery with the wheat colour
just starting to turn.
Saw remnants of fiery truck smash, traffic very heavy today, trucks for miles.
We travelled about 460Km so arrive at 4pm as we lost another hour.
Six hours behind NZ, so will try to get a skype in if possible.
Got waved over by the black & white Baton for doing 60 in 40
Km/hr town zone. Showed him our magic travelling card and
greeted him with a smile,so all good and yes I watched the speed signs much more
Road works continue along all the highways as summer finshes
soon.
Harvesting is just starting and saw silage pits and trucks with
grain.
Drove into Ekaterynburg in a huge downpour so hard to see road markings and cobbled streets very slippery. V managed to stop a tram when I changed lanes.The city has 2.5M people, old Czar town, where they died, see that tomorrow.
Huge storm outside the hotel, wind gusts and thunder.
