99 Hours

One leg of the trip we had been looking forward to for a very long time is taking the Trans-Mongolian Railroad from Saint Petersburg to Ulaanbataar, Mongolia, and then a week later onto Beijing. The Saint Petersburg-Ulaanbataar leg is 99 hours long; what do you do on a train for that long?



If you guessed drink Russina vodka, you are correct! We lucked out and got a 4 bed cabin to ourselves, which was good because it was cramped quarters for two of us. The views were spectacular, and we had lots of time for reading.










This is the official Mongolia/Russia border.
