Food / drink / trains I must say I'm shocked that the UK bought food was the cheapest! The champagne was clearly a good buy at 3GBP per bottle - was the vodka similarly inexpensive?
The images of the train remind me a little of the rail journey we went on in the Czech Republic, but you have a much longer (and hopefully faster) journey!
Now, what's this about three oceans... I count only two?!
Looking forward to reading about Irkutsk and beyond,
Richie.
Wedding! It was fab to see you guys, and hope you enjoyed the picnic.... so that is where all the food went!

Good nachos!
Richie.
Uruguay, home of pies Nick, I sincerely hope you aren't going to go to Uruguay and miss out Fray Bentos again. If only we'd have hired that car and gone there, my life would have been so enriched.
Paula - Here we are fulfilling a long-held dream of travelling the planet. Through our travelblog have fun joining us along the way!
