The Trans-Siberian Railway

Proxy Adventures
So I’m not there myself but into my phone arrive sporadic images from Sally and Maggie and their adventures across Asia. What can I glean?
  • Passport and visa checks and compartment searches at borders
  • Sunsets, Sunrises, Fascinating glimpses of life in remote corners of the world
  • Forest, Snow, Steppes, Lakes, the Gobi Desert
  • Stupendous Lake Baikal (biggest, deepest lake on the planet)
  • Grumpy Chinese guard, hard beds, limited hot water
  • Friendly fellow passengers (Dutch)
  • Jolly Restaurant car staff who will (also) drink and dance
  • Champagne, Beer, Wine and all types of vodka
  • Borscht, Stroganoff, Pot Noodles, Chocolate
  • Memories of the Romanovs passing through Yekaterinburg….
Next stop Beijing
