Haha! I want to come back some time and experience the trans-Siberian railroad. I think traveling by rail is the cheapest and most effective way to see Russia, especially if you are just traveling.Jasilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092597745555004253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189558445260650056.post-60747380086232943262017-06-14T12:28:55.620-04:002017-06-14T12:28:55.620-04:00How cool!

Seeing so many cool things out the window and now being able to stop is a downside though - putting a train trip on my Russian to-do list now ;)Alexandra https://www.blogger.com/profile/00104498699638640881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189558445260650056.post-82317680615358075862017-06-13T03:14:04.769-04:002017-06-13T03:14:04.769-04:00I really want to take a long trip one day!

It was the longest freakin' trip ever, haha. Started in Yakutsk at the end of December, driving 14 hours on ice-covered rivers in a marshrutka to reach the nearest train stop. Then 2 days on the train to Irkutsk. Stayed there about a week to celebrate the new year. Then another few days from Irkutsk to Moscow. Here are some pictures, if you're interested: http://8monthsinukraine.blogspot.com/2011/07/pictures-from-thetrans-siberian.html<br /><br />We took a lot of train trips in Ukraine to visit D's family. It was an overnight ride from where we lived to where they lived. One time we even splurged for люкс... it was so nice to have a private ride! Most of the time we would travel купе.... platzkart only as a last resort. ;)Crazy About Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990920799981173553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189558445260650056.post-44143594097855914882017-06-06T03:28:31.206-04:002017-06-06T03:28:31.206-04:00It kind of does!It kind of does!Jasilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092597745555004253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189558445260650056.post-73611818856136350162017-06-05T15:20:19.670-04:002017-06-05T15:20:19.670-04:00So cool, looks like you're in a movie sceneSo cool, looks like you're in a movie scene The Elrod'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665442112592203221noreply@blogger.com
