You guys have a way of commenting I will never understand :) Hope you do, anyway.

A friend of mine just left for Dubai... the other one is scuba diving Croatia... I have not seen them both for a while because I was in Barcelona, than in Vilnius and Minsk... shit.. life is hard, you have to agree with me.

One day you are fighting your way towards the probalbly least populated are in Belarus in a VW Polo from 1987, the next you find yourself cruising in abrand new BMW 745i individual towards a popular Yacht club. "Life changes on a daily basis".

Lets take it slow and go one by one. Last year I was already publishing when I went to "Narach", which is a forested area in Belarus. If you leave Minsk in a Northern direction its easy to get there. Simply whenever you see some civilization like a shop, houses or a gas station, than you are obviously on the wrong track. You have to head towards the skewing roads with no bitumen and trees and trees trees.
It is also easy to know that you are there from another simptom. There is only one shop, about 3 miles away from the village, and they have an exceptionally wide selection compaired to the local possibilities. You can buy salt and wellingtons. (made of the cheapest rubber obviously)

You have so many things to do there. Collecting mushrooms. Collecting fruits in the forest. Watching the sunset. Cycling. Uhm... swimming. And than you can go collecting mushrooms again.
I loved that life...
(no I did not)
