• Trans Siberian Train to Yekaterinburg

    September 6, 2019 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    We enjoyed our first night/ day on our first Trans Siberian Train (TST).
    It was pretty restless as we had a cabinmate join us at 03.00am but she was v considerate, stowed her stuff as then climbed into her top bunk.
    I’ve had a terrible migraine so I’ve basically spent all night and all day sleeping, not seeing much whilst K has managed to start and finish a book.
    The mystery of last nights missing dinner was solved promptly at 12pm when it turned up today. We realised the attendant must have been asking us what date not what time.... 5.09 or 6.09!!! We thought it was Russian efficiency to the minute!
    We arrived and the guy from our apartment kindly came and met us and walked us the 3 mins to our accommodation which was lucky as would never have found it!!
    We now have 2 nights in Yekaterinburg to explore.
