Bump, Bump, Bump!

We went on a bumpy train ride from Moscow to Irkutsk for 4 nights (18-22 of August). It was fun but I couldn’t sleep that well.

Here I am outside my train – Daddy nearly got arrested here 😉 for using his camera on the station.

Here is what our compartment looked like. It was very very tiny – even smaller than our bathroom at home! The food was good on the train. I had 2 minute chicken noodles for breakfast! I had a cold so it helped!

Two compartments down from us there were 4 beautiful dalmation dogs and 4 women – when I walked past one of the dogs was on the top bunk poking his head out!

Arnie has a cold too! This is me writing in Russian.

A game I made. The red squares are bad, the blue good and the green nothing.

Some pictures of the view from the train!

Here are the lovely Russian couple we meet – Yulia and Sergey – they are on their way to work in China. They think that I am lonely being an only child – but I’m not …….because I am great company for myself!

tsk….tsk….tsk

We stayed in Irkutsk for 5 nights (22-27th August). I am nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower…..NOT!

When I asked for Hot Chocolate, I didn’t get Hot Chocolate…..I got HOT CHOCOLATE!

When in the local park I met a lovely family and did some chalk drawing.

Some of the great graffiti art we found walking around town. The red lady is my favourite!

 

Some of the statues around town….do you like the backpacker who stood still too long?!

 

We went on the Circumbaikal railway on Saturday. We had races running along the railway tracks.

 

Squish…squish…squish to get on the ferry to get back to Irkutsk.

 

 

I didnt realise my Papa was a pizza man in Siberia. Did you Grandma? A man of many talents!
