Mineralnõje Vodõ – Peterburg’i rongi kupee. Ülemeelikus tujus ja ütlematagi arusaadaval põhjusel veidi kilavate silmadega eesti keelt kõnelevad mehepojad arutavad tulevikuplaane.

Päev kulus pakkimisele, et homseks, kui hobused tulevad kraami järele, oleks kõik valmis. Kogu suur C1 laagriplats on imelikult tühjaks jäänud- ainult meie 4 telki.
