Siberia......baby!
... mile of the ride along the Trans-Siberian.
I got told off a few times. Firstly using the red handle on the samova (large hot water dispenser) I should have turned the blue handle for hot water. Secondly, on the first morning, people around me were handing in their bedding. I joined in, not knowing that these people were departing the train. I thought it was odd that we got new bedding, especially in 3rd ...

The town is really pictureseque with lots of old wooden style houses so spent a day sightseeing before heading back on the train for 2 nights onto Irkutsk and Lake Baikal.
