Day 8 26/9/2014

And it was until late morning Moscow time or mid afternoon local time (+ 4 hours).  Time now becomes irrelevant as although +7 hrs BST no idea what time it is.  We sleep until it's light (the window blinds are good) and the day's spent reading, looking out of the window and reflecting until it gets dark.  Eat, have a beer, drink vodka, play cards.  Di goes to sleep and Simon reads and then have a restless nights sleep partly due to lack of exercise and hard bed making hips sore.  Gets quite cold over night as we're now in Siberia and at Krasnoyarsk it's minus 3.  The facilities on board are rather limited.  Luckily (?) the quality of food is reducing the need to visit!  Watching the line pass by between your legs is slightly disturbing! The view out of the window is trees, trees, long train going the other way (Russia apparently has more rail freight than the rest of the world combined and all passenger trains can only go at the same speed), trees, trees, more trees, train, trees, trees, trees......... At least there is now a heavy frost on the trees making them look even more picturesque.  It's so thick it looks like it's snowed.  Off to sleep dreaming of trees and hoping no party tonight!
