Olia's flying visit has come to an end. She stayed for 8 days and now she is on her way back home, to LA and then to SF. We managed to do many things together, even though time was very limited. But most importantly, we went to see little Stepka in Tuchkovo, where he lives with his Granny (not me, of course) and his relatives from Kostya's side. He is a cute and lovely boy who has taken a lot after his Dad but not Marina. However, Stas, her elder son, is also like his Dad. We travelled there for 3 hours by car, it's western direction of Moscow, 72km west along Minskoe highway. Have a look at some shots with Olia and Marina and the Granny. By the way, he has got a spot on his neck, is it a sign?

It has been raining heavily since yesterday so now we are sitting in and doing some computer stuff. Im trying to download some video from our trip to the Bay It was really good in all respects. Views, Grotto, Food from fish farms, Vietnamise crew guys, everything was first class. But more importantly, the weather was bright with good visibility. Have a look at some clips we made there.

Here we are in Ha Long. It was a really hard and long journey here from Moscow. The plane was full of small children crying all the time and the weather in Hanoi and Ha long is rather dull and grey. But I'm glad I eventually got here with Slava who feels a bit unwell after several sessions of acupancture he has had in Hanoi. Now everything is over and we are trying to rest and sleep well here. I don't think the weather will be good for swimming as the forecast is not promising...But still I'm glad I'm here. Have a look at some shots I made here on the very first day.
