Ulan Ude to Vlad Day 5

We wake up to find we've illness in the camp, both niall and craig have come down with some kind of violent stomach bug, really bad niall can't ride so we have to put the bike on the truck. We've also changed the plan so now we are going to find a doc in Khabarovsk and stay in a local hotel - about time. The weather is now steamy I haven't been in these kind of humid conditions since the last time I was in Hong Kong. It turns out the local area is essentially a partially drained swamp in which someone has plonked the city of Khabarorsk it's a good job we aren't camping tonight there would have been a mutiny. Pete and Lee go into the city and find a hotel then text the waypoint and the rest of us follow it in - this GPS track following technology works really well. Finally get to the hotel and get a shower - suddenly realise how bad I smelt.
