... read the dictionary. I went around gathering books in my arms but unfortunately I could not have them all, getting the three that I bought will be a great struggle enough as it is to get into my rucksack. I found the Lord of the Rings all into one nice paperback copy, I have been wanting to read it for ages, the first time I tried I could only manage the Prologue but now I will have the perfect opportunity as we spend three days on the train to Irkutsk. I also found The ...

... There must have been a few complicated ones because when mid day came around, the Embassy closed the door firmly for the day. Darn. However, we were led to believe that if we, the couple who have travelled all the way from NZ, should turn up at 8 am on Monday, the Embassy might look at our application.<br>We'd quite like to travel through Belarus as the alternative is a much longer drive/adventure through ...

... of my carriage. Milli is sound asleep &amp; snoring. Ugh. 9:36am Moscow time (11:36 local time) Tyumen; 2144 km's from Moscow It seems my body has completely changed over to Moscow time (I know there is only 2 hours time difference now). I just had my bowl of breakfast noodles. Milli is playing solitaire by herself with an actual deck of cards (rather than the computerised deck on her iPod). It seems weird. I only say that because she is making all the electronic clicking ...

... reached the Belarus border. Belarus and Russia use wider track gauges than the rest of the world, do you know why? They're awkward *******s. So at about midnight when the train arrived at the frontier, there was a tedius 2 hour wait, while the entire train was lifted a meter off the ground, and had its wheels changed.

... on life support are in the ICU, none are moved to other flours nor moved to home. This takes up a lot of beds in a ward where there already is a shortage. We then got to talking about organ transplant. In Russia it is a assumed that that you will donate your organs unless you or your first degree relatives relate that you wish otherwise. But, they have not more than 40 kidney transplants a year in Russia. The reason is that 1) the Russian Orthodox religion believes it ...

... is that the Armory has closed for the day by the time I get there. I'll have to return to see the eggs another day. I hit up Old Arbat Street, which is a pedestrian street famous for souvenir shopping and bars which double as a meeting point for all the English soccer fans in town for the game. Apparently, you aren't allowed to drink at the stadium during any European competition so the hooligans are getting their fair share in before the ...

... area. It was quite amazing how one smoke can create such an interest. We had by now figured out Russia was not going to war with Georgia just yet and instead they were having a dress rehearsal for the main parade a few days later. It was getting colder as the time past and by 5.45pm we had had enough. The proper parade hadn't happened yet but we had a good nosey at all the tanks, guns and rockets and seen their army, navy and air force march in the square, dressed in full uniform ...

... geocaching.com) and a nice walk along the river. Next day we went to the Kremlin, starting with a visit to the Armoury. In both the Armoury and the main Kremlin we got the audio guide and were very pleased we did. Wish I could remember more though! The Armoury is full of amazing things, lots of gold and jewels. The favourite for both of us was the Faberge Eggs, amazing work, one had a working model train in it ...
