We have just boarded the Trans-Siberian Express and I must share a picture of the gorgeous train station at Irkutsk. Too bad it’s an overcast day, but that is always a good day to travel. This leg is long, about 50 hours on the train, from Irkutsk to Yekaterinburg. Once again we brought food for the journey, although there is apparently a nice restaurant car, so we may not eat everything we brought.
And of course there is a samovar in the carriage, as there always is here, and I have just made myself a “wee cup of tea” to start my journey. Ahhhhh, this is the life!
That is truly a beautiful train station!!!!!
Oh, so very lovely…:-)
I also have a samovar at home! I’ll show you a picture when you are back 🙂
