Novosibirsk, John, & A Vegetarian's Kryptonite

We burned it from Chelyabinsk to Novosibirsk.  Or brief flirtation with a stop over in Omsk was destroyed by weather that looked like this:

That led to one particularly muddy session after wild camping:

where Patrick has to rescue all 3 bikes:

(And yes, I cackle like a witch.)

When we arrived in Novosibirsk we were greeted by John, a friend of Patrick's from his first world trip. We spent a couple of days with him, and we spent a Sunday grilling Shashlik  next to the river.

But then chunks of grilled meat that are sizzled to perfection are laid in front of me and I become a drooling cave man.

 

Shaslick, it could break the strictest vegetarian.
