My Russian LOI
has arrived.
The LOI is the first foot in the door to getting a russian visa. The visa is the biggie if I don't get it then Russia is out of bounds & that's pretty much a back-to-the-drawing-board scenario for my trip. so I'm kinda nervous ...and kinda excited at the same time. As soon as my bank statements arrive I'll be heading over th stand in line at the russian consulate. |

Re: My Russian LOI
Are you planning to ride across Russia ? I'd love to have a crack at that.

Visa on the other hand are around ?50 each, russia & Uzbek also require a LOI. Flights to the UK from Canada should cost be less than ?1500 for me & bike. Flights to Anchorage from Vladvostok for are still being worked out. I'm hoping for less than ?3000. On top of that there's kit to buy, petrol, food, hotels (and camping), beer etc |

Re: My Russian LOI
I think you should do a dedicated thread on this with all the details (and limited invasion by us) - it's a mother of a trip!
