  • Day 2: Yekaterinburg

    Just arrived after spending 28 hours on the train. Great experience so far, one word: Ivan. More on that later, if we finally manage to get mobile Internet set up on the next train. And if Sputnik doesn’t wobble again, other story, relates to Ivan.
    Quick photo of a sign on the train though:

    My Russian still sucks, but from the picture I was guessing that if there’s a fire in your cabin, your Waggon gets disconnected and you are left to burn to death.
    Bottom line: Do NOT start a fire in your cabin!

  • In front of the red square

    Ollie already posted last night. Just thought I’d add a photo or two….

  • Day zero

    Just arrived at the Godzilla Hostel after having a couple of beers with Alex and Katja. Free wifi at the hostel so a quick update via mobile phone, trying not to wake up the guy from Istanbul we’re sharing the room with.
    First leg of the train coming up tomorrow after visiting red square and the Kremlin (or Gremlin as everyone says after vodka number five)
