Crossing Siberia to get to UlanBaataar. Have a 1 month trecking and horse riding in Mongolia. Follow with China and the great wall,forbiden city, pandas ... then Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Indonesia ... long is the way !

Hey! A little map of the first journeys ...

On se prepare au fur et a mesure!

Vaccinations, visas, organisation des trains et achat de matos ... ca fait pas mal de travail !

Aujourd'hui on s'est fait recaler pour le visa Russe. On va retenter notre chance avec tous les details de notre itineraire! Non mais quelle personne saine d'esprit irai s'exiler en Siberie? L'administration Russe n'est d'hors et deja plus mon amie!

Du coup nous avons achete tous nos billets de train pour la Russie cet apres-midi. Moscow-Tomsk puis Tomsk-Lac Baikal puis enfin Lac Baikal-Ulan Bator! Nous allons passer 2 semaines en Siberie avec la pluspart du temps dans un train fabuleux: LE Transsiberien!

Je deviens plus impatiente chaque jour.

Howdy!

Long is the way so we gotta get a little prepared before jumping in the plane to Moscow!

We have our Mongolian Visa but we've been refused our Russian visa for lack of information on our date of exit from the country ... like we're gonna be clandestinos in Siberia! That brang us to plan our trip a bit more in details from Moscow to Ulan Baataar. Today we have thus purchased the tickets from Moscow to Tomsk and then from Tomsk to Baikal and finally from Baikal to Ulan Baataar. Quite a few days to spend between two rails!

Can't wait to experience the legendary train which is THE transsiberian!

We are also in the process of getting all our vaccination done and ... it's painful !

So on monday the visa application will be on Olga's desk and she better stamp the passport this time!

Day minus too long still - I am getting truly impatient!
