Day 12 Train day

---

Hello All,



We had a long day on the train, we had a few hours each side of the Russian-Mongolian boarder but there was really nothing there apart from a kiosk with out-of-date items. So our day was spent eating noodles, watching spooks and reading, plus loads of chatting!!! To be fair this time we all got healthier foods for the train like tomatoes, cheese, bread, fruit and other good stuff.



Our passports and visas were checked thoroughly, about 6 times; nice to see they are thorough unlike England.



Anyone planning to do this trip should really look at making sure they have books, kindle, laptop or something to keep themselves busy, also stock up on food as its expensive on the train and will be cheaper in a supermarket in Russia.



As normal we ended the night watching something on the laptop which was again a spooks (we have the others hooked too), then it was sleep for a lovely 0430 wake up for a 0530 arrival (mental, never getting sleep)



That’s all for now, Love N&V X
