From Nizhny Novgorod we drove a bit pass Moscow, managed to go around Moscow and not stuck on the traffic.

Weather was good, quite a lot of smoke everywhere.
Managed to find small motel just by the road and our day was there!

We got wake up visit at 07:00 as agreed on the night before, had quick breakfast and packing and off we go again.
