The truck driver was efficient and matter of fact taking us on a route round the suburbs of Omsk. I travelled in Konstantin's car but despite being a 'rally supporter' he hated the back roads slowing again and again for potholes. A journey to the garage that should have taken 2-3 hours took 4. We arrived at the garage at 2.30am
At the Reakter garage - a 24 hour facility - the head mechanic insisted on a complete oil change before listening to the engine. Only then would he allow the engine to be turned on and confirmed within seconds (at 4 am!) what we knew by 6pm yesterday.
A few hours sleep at the clean and basic Tourist Hotel and we shall be back at the garage and hoping they do some serious work.We waited by the roadside for 4 hours for the pick up truck. Konstantin - a volunteer helper and English speaker - arrived 30 minutes before the truck to smooth the way.
