It is amazing how fast the time goes on this train. I have brought plenty of things to do, including my Russian language course and a knitting project, the latter occupied most of the afternoon and evening as I had to pull back half the back. I had used the wrong version of the pattern! I am trying to do some of the Russian course every day, I should have done more at home ...;). In addition we have to check on our progress using the guidebook we have brought and information printed off the internet, we also have scans from a railway atlas kindly supplied by the friend who wants the station photos.
It is now 12.45 local time on Train Day 2; in the last two days we have moved from summer to autumn, and we are now in Siberia. The view is of silver birch with the leaves just beginning to turn, with pink willow herb on the woodland floor.....then open clearings......a siding with abandoned rusty coaches, trucks in the distance on the road, golden fields......and eventually......a small settlement.
Time to leave my blog and catch up with all my activities.......!!!
