Day 164 (14 June 2023) - Aktash, Russia

DAY 164 (14 JUNE 2023) - Later, Natasha introduced me to some of her biker friends. They happily greeted me and invited me to join them on their trip. We held our respective flags in the spirit of friendship and solidarity.

We all stayed together at a guest house near the village of Aktash, Ulagansky. In the evening, we cooked some barbecue and ate dinner together. We stayed up till 11 pm, chatting away and getting to know each other despite the language barrier.

Natasha spoke a bit of English and helped to translate, but for the most parts we communicated well with each other via Google translator. I had a good time chilling with my new biker friends. They were very friendly and made sure I felt welcome.
