Quite an early start for this one, train departure at 6.15am . In the mostly dark, we hauled our luggage onto a sleeping train. Our carriage was easy to spot, the only Mongolian carriage amongst all the Russian carriages. It was also exclusively ... Read more >

A small and cosy town centre, a giant Lenin head and plenty of Buddhist influence, this really is quite a likeable city. Our hotel is a short walk from the train station. As customary upon arrival in a new town, we head to the local supermarket ... Read more >

It felt odd to be getting on the train knowing that we would not be sleeping on it. After a midday departure, we were due in at Ulan Ude at 8.15pm . We still had a sleeper cabin though, the only option for this train, as it departed from Moscow ... Read more >

After 50 hours, we were ready to depart the train. It was only the last few that felt longish though. Given that we were arriving at 9pm and departing again the next morning, we booked accommodation close to the train station. Go to any city ... Read more >

This is where it gets real. 50 hours on the train. We were actually looking forward to it!
Fully laden with supplies and drinking water, we boarded the train in high spirits just before dinner time.

Our train was due for departure at 10.30pm . Having originated in Moscow, it had a 1 hour stop in Perm. We boarded the train shortly after 9.30pm , organised our gear, made up our beds and settled in for the night. A relatively uneventful ... Read more >

We stepped off the train in Perm and what a depressing welcome it was. Raining, wet, grey, drab and miserable. Oh, and cold. We hiked down the platform to the tunnel under the platforms and there was water everywhere. At one point a puddle so large there ... Read more >

The capital city and the home of Russia's government. And what we also discovered, a clean, well maintained city with a definite European feel. The traffic is horrendous though. Moscow is very proud of its Metro system and it's also the most efficient ... Read more >
