We're now on board the train to Irkutsk for our mammoth double overnight trip. Given the length of the trip, we took no chances and made sure we had a little cabin to ourselves in second class.
We've made it through all 7 episodes of the Long Way Round (thanks to Victoria for giving it to us and dad for getting it into a format we could view on the tab). A very entertaining watch - particularly because a lot of it focuses on the time they spent in Russia and Kazakhstan. We did chuckle at the end where Ewan McGregor says he hopes the message of their journey is to show people that anything is possible. Although motorcycling from London to New York is a hugely impressive feat, it's pretty clear that it was made possible to a certain extent because they got given loads of free kit and had two support vehicles which (whilst not travelling with them) were never too far away. It has inspired Eve though to see if we can find a four wheel drive camper van for future journeys. Anyway, fear not, we've got one or two other programmes to keep us entertained for the upcoming journeys.
The scenery has been lovely today - rolling hills and pretty colourful flowers - as well as the increasingly familiar sight of Siberian wooden cabins.
