Trans-Mongolian Day 4

Got 2 new room-mates. An Italian couple. Neither say too much. She just takes a shit load of photos of everything. Including, at one point, 2 coffee mugs on the table. I was slightly insulted that she moved my pot noodle out of the background for the shot. Russian customs in the evening,...

Trans-Mongolian Day 3

Today was the day I began drawing little plans of the train in my diary. So, yes, I was a bit bored still. Decided to sleep most of the day to combat it. Also, discovered that there are forks in the dining car to steal!! Stupidly, I'd bought 6 days worth of rehydratable food, but no fork...

Trans-Mongolian Day 2

Spent the day reading, sleeping, listening to my ipod and getting bored. At the stops, which are about every 4-5 hours, you can get off to stretch your legs for about 20 mins. At the first few, everyone was a bit panicky and didn't leave the train's side. It was really funny - as soon as a...

Trans-Mongolian Day 1

Took the metro to the train station, which, confusingly, was one of 2 stations that are right next to each other. After a quick game of dumb-Englishman charades with a woman in the ticket booth, gathered that i'd got the right station and waited on the platform. When the train did finally...

Red square and beyond

I've managed to land on my feet with this hostel. The French guy that runs it, Francois, is awesome. I only booked for the first night and they were full after that, but he sorted it out so that I got a mattress on the floor for the next 2 nights. We get 'authentic' Russian breakfasts here -...

Crazy Russians.

Free breakfast?! Since when does did meat and cheese go with croissants? (how is that spelt?) Sent the bleeper off again going through security. "Francais?" "English." "Come with me please Sir." Oh shit. This hasn't happened before. I begin to fear that...

St. Pete

I'm in St Petersburg now. It's starting to grow on me, but my first impressions were not good. The train got in at 7am, and the hostel I wanted opens at 8, so I killed an hour walking along Nevsky Prospekt and checking out an old monastery. Fine so far, but the hostel turned out to be full....

The Trans-Siberian

Made it to Moscow OK, and I'm enjoying the benefits of being back in Europe. That being, I'm typing from my laptop in a coffee shop in a mall under Red Square. The train was fun, though not quite the grand adventure it's made out to be. Mostly it was the easiest part of my trip thus far....
