Day #19: Ufa to Samara

15JUN13:

A hot day crossing rolling green pastures of the Russian Steppes brings us to Samara – a day off tomorrow, and we are in a particularly comfortable hotel. Today was all about a blend of gravel tracks and main roads with several stops at road-side cafes for stamps from the time-keeping team…Tomorrow is a rest day and Samara should brace itself for an onslaught of broken cars and dirty laundry. Valeting services have been offered in the car park… so by days end we expect them to have restored the entire rally to concurs condition.
Our clocks have gone back two hours at Samara putting us 4 hours ahead of GMT and giving us the excuse for an extra lie-in tomorrow morning.
