Extremely Interesting! The pictures look bleak and not at all hot. I hope your body is coping with the extreme changes in temperature. Do I take it that your Frech room mate was female? How interesting! Lots of questions to ask when you finaoly return. xxx
Geography classes are for real These photos are exactly like what I remember learning in Geography classes at school - amazing to know that it actually exists!
Handsome Hunk It's a joy to read of your progress, Sam and to see the photos, especially the one featuring that handsome hunk in front of the Kremlin. x
Good Looks Glad to hear Lenin's looking good for his age - who's that who got in the picture at St Basils?- watch out for him he looks like Russian mafia to me.
Speak soon
Well spotted! Well done Sam, apparently lots of people mistake the cathedral for the Kremlin, clearly not studying their guide books! Did you have some vodka? Best of luck with the next leg of your journey x
Sam, you have my uneserved admiration for embarking on such an adventure, all on your own! I really envy you this memorable experience, well done for your great initiative. Take all necessary care, of course. Love, Grandad
The journey of a life-time So far, looks so interesting. Presumably the Olympian and the Prof spoke English. They sound preferable to the other silent companions but the drunks must have provided entertainment. Everybody who has ever herd of the Trans-Siberian Express would love to go on it. So, ENJOY and keep moving. Keep well and happy. x
Travelling companions Not sure if you're saying that a journey with a Russian olympian and a University professor is a good or a bad thing... I personally like both types.
Poland At least you got to see Poland out of the train window! Maybe you've set off from Moscow by now - so enjoy the trans-siberian - one of my life-time ambitions!
Bon voyage! Yes - I think that map will look very different not long from now! The trip looks brilliant. Is it too late for me to come? Have a fantastic time! xxx
