In no way Posted by Huw in Gone East | Oct 27, 2007
  • On Rails: Part Two Siberia. The name has always conjured images of a frosty world of barren wilderness for me. Permafrost blanketed in heavy snow, broken only by pine forest and the obligatory swarms of bears. The reality sees me far to the south Posted by Huw in Gone East | Oct 24, 2007
  • On Rails: Part One Breathing is a very healthy exercise. It helps fuel the body, providing energy and calming your nerves. Perhaps this is why in situations like this, a pause followed by a period of just breathing is advised. Its 12:30 and suddenly Posted by Huw in Gone East | Oct 19, 2007
  • Ghosts from the past. The cold war confuses the hell out of me. I can just about grasp the method, and even have go at its deranged logic... but the timescale is lost on me. Over Half a century of Posted by Huw in Gone East | Oct 19, 2007

  • Transsibiriska järnvägen Lämnade Sthlm en fin lördageftermiddag. Härlig blå himmel och sval frisk höst luft som gev sug efter lite friluftsliv i Hellas. Hade det varit en annan dag hade jag sovit, missat det fina vädret och skitit i det. Nu skulle Posted by Adde in Nanjing 2007 | Oct 10, 2007
  • ...Sods law Somethings going down in St Petes... I'm not really a firm believer in karma, but today i get the feeling it does exist, and actually reads this blog for ideas at how to get back at me. Specifically fol Posted by Huw in Gone East | Oct 7, 2007
  • Mind the Gap 1 Week + 1 day. Going east through Europe has proven to be a pretty good way of escaping the culture shock. Amsterdam eases you in nicely, everyone speaks English, the people ar Posted by Huw in Gone East | Oct 2, 2007
  • Irkutsk Irkutsk is situated 5,185 kilometers by rail from Moscow. It's situated in Siberia and has a subarctic climate, characterized by extreme variations of temperatures between seasons.

  • Train from Moscow to Irkutsk (3,5 days journey) We were not the only ones waiting for the train. The hall at the station was pretty crowded.

  • Moscow Hello there!!! We have now (18 Sep) spent 5 days in Moscow and it’s time to carry on our eastward journey. But before let me tell you what we experienced in the Russian metropolis.

  • Train from St Petersburg to Moscow The train wasn’t open like the one from Riga and had compartments. Otherwise the train looked pretty similar to the Latvian one. We shared our compartment with Rodney, a really nice gentleman from Yorkshire, England and Vladimir from Moscow. Vladimir Posted by fredrik_p in The Big Trip | Sep 21, 2007
  • St. Petersburg (2) 11th of September We had breakfast (the same dry breakfast buffet) and then took the metro in to town. St. Petersburg’s metro is said to be the worlds deepest. We don’t know if that is true but it definitely feels like Posted by fredrik_p in The Big Trip | Sep 15, 2007
  • St. Petersburg (1) 9th of September We couldn’t get into the room until 12.00 and as we arrived already around 9.30 we left our luggage and went for a walk around town. The area around the hotel is pretty empty but we managed to Posted by fredrik_p in The Big Trip | Sep 11, 2007
  • Photo of the Week: Noah's Ark Well for the life of me, I thought Noah's Ark got caught somewhere in Turkey... But apparently, it was this tall building in St. Petersburg that snagged the ancient load-bearing vessel. Posted by dr.pepper in From the swivellin' chair... | Sep 14, 2007
  • Train to St. Petersburg So we got on the train in time, no problem. [img=http://www.travellerspoint.com/photos/82834/IMG_6248.jpg thumb=http://w Posted by fredrik_p in The Big Trip | Sep 10, 2007
  • The Golden Ring Hi All, Phew, I finally have time to sort out my email contacts which somehow got lost in the system between various email accounts. Russia is not the easiest place to send and receive emails, mobiles and international calls at Posted by icyte in Robbie the Robot's World Tour 2007 | Aug 23, 2007
  • Life on Nevsky Prospekt Hi All, Well, I finally extracted myself from Australia and landed in Moscow briefly then straight on to St. Petersburg. What an interesting city, with rivers, canals, grand palces and extranagant churches. Plus unbelievable traffic on Nevsky Prospekt Posted by icyte in Robbie the Robot's World Tour 2007 | Aug 15, 2007
  • Plane, Trains, and Automobile to Get to the TSR Travel Lesson #356 (and yes, we should have known this!): allow at least twice as much time as you think you could need to travel and check in to unfamiliar airport terminals. We had allowed about two and half Posted by lloydthyen in travelling right, travelling light | Aug 9, 2007
  • St Petersburg in 36 Hours From Cape Town, we flew through London (ok, well, arrived and then spent more than 2 hours in lines for a security screening and re-screening . . .) to St Petersburg. Our actual (non-line-standing) time in London Heathrow was Posted by jacquiedro in travelling right, travelling light | Aug 9, 2007
  • Life on the Trans Siberian When we made our Trans-Siberian reservation, we were careful to ensure we were booking for the Rossiya, or train number 002, which is apparently the most comfortable and fastest train on the Trans-Siberian route. We made the decision early Posted by jacquiedro in travelling right, travelling light | Aug 12, 2007
  • Losing Our Minds on the Way to Mongolia After four relatively sleepless nights on board, we were both looking forward to (a) a good shower, (b) a bed that was wider, and wasn’t moving or jolting every half a mile or so, and (c) a decent meal.

  • Ulan Bataar Bound Just a quick posting from Ulan Ude in Russia, where we are staying at the Hotel Baikal. For reasons beyond us (or our understanding!)
