Tourists
We aren't the only tourists around!
We keep bumping into the same tourists everywhere that have booked similar packages to us. Paul and Jill were on the train up from Beijing and we saw them quite a bit in Ulaan Bataar and met them at the village in Siberia. They left the day we arrived. Alex and David are a day behind us as they actually herded horses in Mongolia for an extra day there. They just arrived at the village the day we left and will probably be on the same train as us on the way to Moscow. Lucy and Nathan, whom we shared a berth with from Beijing to UB, have probably only just arrived in Moscow as they went straight from UB to Moscow... CRAZY! That's 5-6 days on the train! Wish them all the best.
We are now also sharing our homestay in Irkutsk with a bunch of gap year-ers from the UK who have been on the same trains from Beijing and UB as us.... Big country, but small world!?

Hello! Your trip sounds amazing so far. I wouldn't complain too much about the trains until you reach London though... Really nice to read up on your blog, and glad you're both enjoying yourselves. Take care, and see you very soon in 'don'. Love, Ant
