| Long distance trip |
Russia (Siberia) 2006. |
Trebao
je to
biti
put na daleki istok. Rusija je trebala biti zaokruženje i
završetak jedne priče. A Rusija je golema zemlja. Trebao je
to biti put s obale Jadranskog mora do obale Japanskog mora, predvorja
zemlje izlazećeg sunca, put preko 2 kontinenta, a na tom putu
ispriječilo se jedno ogromno prostranstvo. Sibir. Za mnoge
još i danas mistična zemlja, zemlja surove klime, zemlja
zarobljenika totalitarnih sistema. Bila je to zemlja u kojoj su
završili svi snovi mnogih ljudi. Sibir je bio, blago rečeno,
presurov prema njima… A nisam ni slutio, kada sam se pripremao za ovo putovanje, da će taj isti, daleki i tajanstveni Sibir, biti nemilosrdan i u neku ruku surov i prema meni, jer možda su se i moji snovi tamo raspršili u tisuće komadića i tko zna dali će ikada više biti prilike ponovno ih sakupiti...
It should have been a trip to Far East. The Russia was suppoused to be the end of a story. And Russia is a big country. It was suppoused to be a trip from the Adriatic sea to the Japaneese sea's coast, the lounge to the country of the rising sun, a trip over two continents. The thing that came on the way was Sibir, the great width. For many, Sibir is still a mistique country, with a very harsh climate, a country of prisoners of the totalitaristic systems. It was a country where the dreams of many have come to a end. Sibir , in nice words, was too harsh towards them...
When I was preparing myself for this trip I didn't know that this same distant and mistique Sibir will be harsh towards me as well because, maybe, some of my dreams might have been broken in thousands pieces there, and who knows if I will have a chance to gather them ever again...
Nažalost planirana ruta nije u potpunosti ostvarena. Nakon 9200 km, putovanje motorom bilo je završeno u blizini grada Krasnojarska. Bezazlen ali nezgodan pad na jednoj makadamskoj cesti i polomjena kost ruke u ramenu značili su završetak tog dijela putovanja ali i drugi dio tog putovanja, povratak kući, nije bio ništa manje interesantan.
Unfortunately the planned route was not completely realized. After 9200 km, the travel by motorcycle was finished near the town Krasnojarsk. I fell down on a unpaved road. It was nothing serious, but I broke my shoulder. The way back home (by mini bus, trains, truck and bus) was very interesting too.

Posebno hvala Marku i njegovim prijateljima iz Novosibirskog na ugodnom društvu i pomoći koju su mi pružili za vrijeme mog putovanja po Rusiji. Special thank to Mark and to all his friends from Novosibirsk for good company and for all their help during my travel in Russia. |

Čarli (na slici lijevo) je bio nas domaćin čim smo presli u azijski dio Rusije, u gradu Ekaterinburgu. Charli (on left side of photo) was our host in the Asian part of Russia, in the city of Ekaterinburg. |
