Day 9 and 10: From Novosibirsk to Irkutsk
What did you do if you have to hang out for 35 hours on the train? Now there is not much to do than: watch the landscape; take some pictures; go in the restaurant for a café; sort out the photos; take mo pictures; having dinner; write on my blogs; go to bed; have breakfast, take more pictures……
The landscape is not bratty much changing and after a while it is not so much breathtaking to see the endlessness of Siberia. But autumn give nice colors and the weather is not too bad. Since we started we haven’t seen many clouds, it is something we call an old women summer (in autumn continental-weather can be very stable so anticyklons can stay for more than 3 week over middle Europe).
To be honest, the temperatures outside are fine here in middle Siberia but at sunset when the sun shines directly in the wagons it gets uncomfortable hot inside. So I don’t want to make this trip in the summer.
We are now for 34 hours on the train and I’m getting tired. We are really happy that we will be in Irkutsk in one hour, get off the train and have a fresh shower in the hotel. I cannot understand how some dudes can do the whole trip at once. Fortunately we already mastered 5100km and for the next 5 days we will stay at the Lake Baikal.
