1/10/12 Together again in England. Preparing for our biggest adventure yet.

1/6/12 A final fix of dulce de leche before leaving South America. It is now summer in England, right?

1/5/12 We're sad to leave our friends in Buenos Aires but we're itching to put our backpacks on and head off into the wilds.

Life Aboard The Trans-Siberia

Things we liked:
Samovar - Piping hot water on tap for endless tea and noodles
Picnics - We just love a picnic and this was a week-long one
Chess - Sneaking off to the buffet car for chess and the odd beer
Food stalls - Sam loved poking around these platform features to buy local snacks and fresh fruit
Reading - A week sweeping through the Russian landscape is the time to pick up a classic
Windows - Sticking your head out for blasts of fresh air


Things we disliked:
Tyrannical provodniks - The attendants with petty power over our tickets and loo locks
Constant pungent wafts of fish, eggs, beer and worse
Cabin mates who seemed to think that we were invisible
