"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."- St. Peter. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." - Jesus.

Arriving in Baikit


Baikit is 800 km north of Krasnoyarsk. In the Winter time you can drive there but it will take you 24 hours. Or you can fly at any time. The flight is a little less than two hours. Our tickets cost us $900 AUD for the family (PJ under 2 was still free), we got a discount, normally it would have been $1200 AUD.


We were so happy to fly on a new plane. Russia is always upgrading. I have flown on some pretty shaky planes in the past. The airline is new too, it's called Nord Star. They service much of the north in Russia.


Yura and Alona's street in Baikit.

Yura and Alona's house. (It is the half on the left. There is a solid wall dividing the building with another dwelling on the right. This is the way all Russian village houses are done.) Yura's old UAZik 4wd is out front.
