Day 1
Rachel: "After nearly two days of traveling I've finally arrived in the far east of Russia. I had to leave Paul exploring in Moscow, because he lost his tickets for the flight to Vladivostock. I hope he catches up soon!"
Day 2
Paul: "After I caught back up with Rachel, I asked her to show me around Vladivostock, which is actually a naval port. Unfortunately there weren't loads of shops, so Rachel was a bit disappointed. She loves shopping!"
Day 3
 | Rachel: "We took a beautiful, old train to Usserisk today and I met up with some of the staff from WWF. First of all we came across a tiger footprint, which proves that there are tigers in this area and that's scary. They then told me all about the anti-poaching brigades they fund to help protect the tigers and also showed me a tiger skin which was really horrible. I can't understand why people want to kill these animals, rather than help them." |
Day 4
Rachel: "Today we actually saw some tigers - a mum, a dad and their three cubs. Although they were beautiful to look at and it was a fantastic experience, I was terrified. They were so big and strong and looked like they were really hungry! I realize how lucky I am so have seen them though when they are so endangered."
