2795 miles from Moscow

Now arriving, for 2 minutes, at Tayshet. We were joined in our compartment by 2 railway workers last night. They arrived about 9:30 and left us in the early hours, about 3 a.m. Later, there was a bit of a fracas with a drunk, but the guard sorted him out! Not headed out yet, but the station clock says its -7 degrees. It looks cold, with frost on the grass. We lost another hour last night, so 5 hours behind Moscow and 7 behind England. 1 more to go till we are in the same time zone as Victoria and George.Read more
