6/2/2012 Siberia, Russia TRANS SIBERIAN RAILWAY

We went through time zones so I don’t really know what time we woke up. We got off for some air at one of the bigger stops, another clear blue sunny day (but freezing of course). Took lots of pics out the window of more amazing snowy scenery and admired another beautiful sunset. We had another nice relaxing day hanging out in the cabin and playing cards, drinking vodka and eating noodles! We watched a few movies including an Idiot Abroad in Russia (on the Trans Siberian Railway) which was pretty entertaining. During the day we stopped at Tjumen (the 1^st Russian settlement in Siberia founded in 1584), Taluterovsk, Savodoukov, Novaya Saimka, Vagai, Omutinskaya, Golyshmanovo, Karasulskaya, Ishim, Masljanshaja, Mangut Nasyvaevshaya, Lyublinskaya, Omsk Pass, Tatarshaya, Barabinsk, Chulymskaya, Novosibivsk (the biggest city in Siberia and its business centre, 3^rd biggest city in Russia after Moscow and St. Petersburg), Bolotnaya, Yurga, and Yashkino. There were only a few stops that you could actually get off the train at for a stretch, the rest were just brief stops to collect people and let others off.
