We set off early the next day and arrived just in time to see the ferry leave so we got on the next one. It pulled off almost immediately and moved about 400m down the bank and there were Thomas and Felix waiting!!
So we all got on the ferry and waited for more vehicles.
We got chatting to some wrestlers and they showed the boys some videos of them fighting
Then we were told to get off the ferry as the other one 400m away was leaving first. So we rode up to the other one but it just took 2 lorries and left! So we waited some more!

We eventually got on a ferry but it was past 1 o clock so we were running very late. It was a lovely day but still hard going on the rutted, gravel road. At least there were shops and cafes en route today
We were really tired and the combination of the very low sun and the dust plumes made it very hard to see where we were going!
I was sooooo happy to see the ferry port for the ferry to Yakutsk
We met some great kids in the ferry and took millions of selfies with them
David Zimmerman, whose pouch we'd found with all his documents was waiting at the other side for us. He had a hotel organised for us.
This is the handing over of the documents
That's a very happy David
He brought us all out for dinner that evening
You see that picture back there of me with the statue of the guy on the horse?!
This is the road very close to where that photo of me was taken, this one taken less than a fortnight later
