Wagons roll!!

We're an hour into the 36 hour train journey from Moscow to Tyumen. We have our own little 2 berth cabin, and it's a lovely evening to watch the scenery slip by. It's mostly trees and Olga reckons that will be the story fo much of the journey.
We've ordered our meal for tonight, included in the price, a 2 course meal with 100ml of vodka included (Olga's having juice, don't worry!). We've brought supplies on board with us too, food,booze and water aplenty.
I'm still using my PDA to post this blog, so for now you'll just have to do with a blurred photo of my can of G&T and Lara playing. More later, as and when a GPRS signal allows.

Moscow - so far, so good

We made it! No disasters, barely a tantrum (from either lady!) and we're here in the Hotel Cosmos. It's huge. Anyway, we toured Moscow today, lots of walking for the adults, lots of time in the pram or babybjorn for Lara. Have taken lots of photos and videos, but hopefully the one I've attached to this post is the Luzhniki Stadium, site of the Champions League Final last week, taken from the two hour Moscow River cruise boat we went on this afternoon. Time for supper now, 10pm!
