China stone diary

The trains progress through Siberia is slow, but the journey is never boring. I think because you know you are on the train for a week, you just settle into the rhythm. The resturant car now only serves Russian food and I am getting very used to Borscht and over the days I have made a few friends of other passengers. Every few hours the train reaches a station where it might stop for half an hour. It is a chance to go for a walk or buy some food. After the experience of the customs these last few days have been a joy. My next worry is Moscow. I arrive at a different station from where I will leave and I have a couple of days wait. The stone, trolley and I will be doing some walking!
