Amethyst Hotel Khabarovsk

Blaah, vielä 2 viikkoa. Plan yksinkertaisuudessaan: Lento lähtee Helsingistä ma 30. päivä, seuraavana päivänä ollaan jo etelä-Amerikassa. Galapagossaaret, Macchu Picchu, Cotopaxi.. Paljon muitakin paikkoja, joista olisi tarkoitus yrittää kertoa jotain sitten tässä blogin tapaisessa, jotta reissusta jää jotain kirjallistakin muistiin.

... No, he asks you where you are from. Dagen er reddet, den ene av russerne snakker engelsk. De er begeistret over at jeg er nordmann. De fleste jeg møter er.. Etter litt oversetting viser det seg at vi har noe til felles. Han ene som snakker engelsk er befal med diplomatisk pass i Russlands narkotikastyrke, en oppgave som faller til militæret i Russland. Han har vært i Oslo 2 ganger og skrøyter over trafikksystemet vårt(sier vell sitt om Russland). Han andre er på min alder og er ...

... ali wolverine po anglesko) je prav tako ze na robu izumrtja v Sibiriji, kakor tudi v Kanadi, a v obeh drzavah velja za najbolj neugodno zival (najmocnejsi sesalec glede na svojo maso na zemlji) in mu domace zivali ter ljudje prav tako niso tuje med hrano. Se bolj grozno je dejstvo, da obicajno zbira glave svojih zrtev in jih skladisci pri svojem prebivaliscu. Zaradi splosnega strahu pred to izjemno agresivno zverjo so vec desetletij potekale kampanje k njegovemu ...

... directly) to visit me.When she arrived we went straight to Tallinn, as I deemed one week too much to spend just in Helsinki. And it was a great decision, for then I recalled how interesting a city Tallinn is... and how cheap too, when compared to Finland. After spending there the weekend we returned to Helsinki, where I was harboured by Linda, a new friend I had made there for almost one week more. It was a strange time for, having a guest and wanting to ...

... a lovely small town, with an old castle as one of its claim to fame, although it has a road bridge running across its ruins. We have seen more evidence of Finnish animals here, including our first squirral, and a small rodent like creature we saw when we were helping paint the house.

Exploring the town of Kuopio. A place with a hill large enough to house a ski jump! It appears Kuopio has hosted world championship ski jump competitions. Having never seen a ski jump, it was very impressive. We caught up with the brother of the friends we are visiting for lunch in Kuopio. The town hall looked cool, with a small market operating in the square opposite. From here, we made our way to the summer cottage.

... anch'esso del maestoso ambiente in cui si trova a viaggiare. Questo e' l'Estremo Oriente della Russia, il suo selvaggio est. Sono ormai piu' di due giorni che vivo su questo treno; le fermate e le occasione per scendere sono state molto rare, dato che semplicemente non ci sono molti posti dove abbia senso una stazione. Ormai ho imparato a rispettarlo, il treno, e a prendere i suoi ritmi: decide lui dove andare, quando partire ed arrivare, quando posso scendere ...

... Sandra being brave tried everything including the sausage which turned out to be hot dogs! I had cheese with Russian black bread and a delicious blini with Russian cream cheese that looked like Feta but very tasty. Coffee was , well, OK and served with condensed mild. After breakfast, we decided to see the city but also go to the bank and attempt to buy our train tickets for the Irkuskt-Moscow leg. While walking we discovered a ...

Hello, The 06/12, i was leaving Irkutsk to Khabarovsk, more than 60 hours trains. After dozens of hours of Taiga, and the isolated soviet towns of Eastern Siberia finally i arrive in the place where i was coming to get my visa for China. The bad news is that i lost my camera with more than 700 pictures of Mongolia, Russia, and the trip on Baikal lake :( I arrive saturday night in Khabarovsk and i had contact to somebody who ...

Where in the hell in Ilsalmi??? Your guess is as good as mine. We went to this small town in central Finland as an idea to get to the World Wife Carrying Championships. This town is the closet town to where it happens. Apparently there are no buses on Saturdays so getting to the Wife Carrying Championships is going to be difficult. We arrived in this town with no idea as to what there was to do and where we could stay. Sounds like another ...
