16 November
Back on the train again! 30 solid gold hours to Novosibirsk. Done very well with my wagon so far! Have met my two companions and we’ve had a good old chat in Russian. Bolot and Katia – husband and wife team. She is European Russian and he is native Kyrgyzstan. Very chatty. All I can say is that Russians are a real mixed bag. But I like these guys! Bolot’s on his way back home to visit his Mum in Kyrgyzstan who he hasn’t seen for 7 years. He’s gonna spend 30 days there and has filled all spare space in the wagon with gifts for her.
God I feel tired now from speaking Russian. I’ve exhausted the limits of my vocabulary I few times over. This train is too warm.
