44 hours in Vladivostok
So this was the highly anticipated Ambassador’s Reception at
Vladivostok Del Mar (blue seas! Speedboats! Water sports!). My most
able host, Natie, is the city ambassador for Vladivostok, and even
before I had pulled into its historic station ( the end of the line of
the world’s longest railway), it was obvious that Natie deserved her
stripes. “I have a plan to organise visiting Vladivostok Fortress for
a few couchsurfers this afternoon,” she had texted. “Would you care to
join?” With my travel guide informing me that this fortress – built in
1910 with some 1.5km of tunnels – is “really hard to find” and that
“visiting on your own is very difficult,” I gladly signed up.

Agent Britten! You have been traced! Have enjoyed the huge blog catch-up with it’s many twists (Ollie…ouch!) and tails (sheep’s what?). It’s all told with much honesty and humour and makes me glad of a bed and my homemade lentil soup. And now I’m most intrigued about the fortress. (”unputdownable - Morris”). Good luck! xxx
