Vladivostok
Lets get the important bit out of the way, 1,000 Rubles is about £14. I will leave you to do the maths.
No problems re passport and customs, and collected and taken to Hotel Azimut, our overnight hotel.
Hotel Azimut is situated high on the hill and over looks the estuary. Apparently if you go to the top of a certain hill on a clear day you can see Japan. You then realise just how far you are from the UK!
If you come out the hotel and turn right, walk down the hill to bars and restaurants.

Turn left out of the hotel and walk through various horrible looking estates to the port. Having said although they don’t look nice, everyone there was friendly and helpful.
The beer is good, and the scenery although good does not take too long to look around.

Be aware there is not a lot of English spoken here in Vladivostok. One way to get around this is to load Google Translate on your smart phone. Ensure you have the offline version, and load also the Russian keyboard, otherwise you ask the question but they cant reply as they have no way of loading their lettering onto your phone for translation.

The cars are built both RHD and LHD, although they drive on the right as in Europe, i.e. Spain. Bit confusing but it seems to work for them.
I am not too sure about some of the shops there, but, hey if it floats your boat!
The following day we began the Trans Siberian adventure.
