So, stop number I can't remember. We are here for nearly an hour, so plenty of time to shop for necessities, and have a wander along the platform before my legs seize up! It was here the Romanov'sWeiterlesen

2nd big stop today, no more really until tomorrow. Going to taste the delights of the restaurant car later though. Engine change again and the blokes were out with their hammers, testing theWeiterlesen

It's cold out and I've woken up to find we've lost another 2 hours, so now 4 hrs ahead of Moscow and 6 ahead of England! Went through Omsk in the night. Saw some lovely stars too as it was very clear.Weiterlesen

Here for nearly an hour, so again a good time to get provisions. The train is 12 carriages long plus 2 service wagons. It's a lovely bright sunny day with glorious blue skies.
Reisender We walked 70 odd miles during our 3 week stay in Novosibirsk so got to know the place pretty well - did you stop and see any of the places - Lenin Square is quite impressive, the theatre is supposed to be one of the best in Russia and they have a large zoo. Sounds like you’re enjoying your Russian adventure - Dos va Danya Xx
Reisender No, we didn't leave the station. Lots of places we want to go, but not on this trip. We'll have to come again, especially as we don't see Lake Baikal in the daylight!!!

I decided to take a picture of the setting sun through the trees, and got a telegraph pole too!! Second go is better. The bear is Stu's, getting in all the pictures.

We are late! So far we have been on time everywhere, but we've arrived here about half an hour behind. Had a quick trot along the platform, but it was too cold to stay out for long. Stu is getting hisWeiterlesen

That's long. Are you getting plenty of steps in 😂😂. Lovely blue skies even if it is cold. I assume it's toasty warm on the train. Are you sleeping ok? 😴xx

Wish I was getting plenty of steps - don't really move much out of our carriage! Sleeping quite well, but body doesn't really know what time it is, so we both sleep when we are tired. We've only had 2 passengers with us, and only for a part night, so we're still on our own in the compartment, which is quite good really. The train itself is warm, sometimes too warm and I'm glad I have my trusty fan! Off to the restaurant car in a mo for tea, not sure what delights we'll have tonight. 😁😁

Late, running about an hour behind. Changing the engine here, we've now got a blue one! Managed to buy some provisions, but there was only 1 shop and it was quite busy. Only needed cheese spread, so IWeiterlesen

Oh yes, the ubiquitous IKEA, famous yellow and blue box!! 😅😅
