Thanks aufmatt

Thanks re the hotels

I cannot see any numbers at all on my visa, no idea what it says. Unless I can find the original boarding passes. I do not have a clue when I went aside from guessing it a bit.

I doubt my health insurance will cover me in Russia, so I presume this is travel insurance with health cover.

It only costs twice as much to become a Colombian citizen, I am still weighing up the pros and cons. Would be amazing if "becoming Colombian" turns out to be easier than getting a Russian tourist visa.
