we have started our adventure!!
after some days in moscow we embarked on a 3,5 day journey into asia. the trans-siberian. our first stop: irkutsk, 5234 km away from the russian capital.
i must say
that mostly we saw trees
and more trees.
there were little colourful houses with cute vegetable gardens
and to my ignorant surprise there were huge cities with big buildings.
meanwhile inside the train people slept
and ate instant potato puree.
outside, trees continued filling up the horizon...
we also stopped sometimes, babushkas sold dried fish, woollen goods and pastries (yummy!).
we saw the season change.. and autumn signs everywhere.
grass turned yellow and red and the sky turned blue.
and so was our journey from europe to asia on this big train.
much is left to tell. from our gourmet dinners cooked only with hot water, to the conversations with drunken russians (that had to happen, right?), to the warm generosity of strangers.
and just the passing of time looking outside, advancing on our route further into the unknown.
