Clio gone!

We've just donated the Clio to one of the world's least corrupt organisations: The Finnish Government! So it will be efficiently dealt with and cleaner than it's ever been when it's sold at auction! We tried to donate it to a charity but they were unfortunately unable to take it - although they did take the car safety kit and our tools! Finland's import duties are prohibitively expensive so that's why we couldn't simply give it away, but we hope it will find a good home. We'll post pictures of our last moments with the Clio when we get to a better cafe in Russia; Finland doesn't really do full featured internet cafes, just fully priced.

Next chapter: packs on our backs and the train to St Petersburg tomorrow. We'll still update this blog even though the Tales will no longer be from the Clio ...

Alas! Poor Clio. I knew her well, Ben and Joanna.

Glad to see you are still looking chipper. Can't wait to hear how the train trip goes. Send more picture of Joanna sideways!

Lots of love,
