Moscow to Vladivostok, (part two) [I Like Train Journeys]
The journey across Russia though it began at the station in Moscow where we boarded the train, as an idea, began maybe two thousand kilometres West of there. At Moscow after two weeks in the city, where we explored all the places two young women of good character (馃檧馃檲馃檳馃檴) might better avoid, we boarded the train to begin this great adventure!
The Trans Siberian railway has several stops on the eastern aimed journey, and we watched keenly as the stations started to be visited. After Moscow we stopped first at Vladimir, then Nizhny Novgorod, on to Kirov, Perm and Yekaterinburg. We call it Ekaterinburg. It's where we made our first break in our journey, and we ended up staying there a while to augment our finances.
Once we were again on the train, we travelled through Tyumen, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tayshet, to Irkutsk. There we had another break in our journey, to explore this beautiful city. Aboard again our stops were Ulan-Ude (where you can change and get a train to Beijing), Chita, Bamovskaya, then Birobidzhan, Khabarovsk and Vladivostok.
We left Moscow in the early Spring and reached Vladivostok in the early Autumn. It was only a brief stay there we could countenance, we had decided to winter in Shanghai. It was ambitious, and we got passage on a Japanese ship which put us ashore at Shanghai, after a brief visit to Honshu island. We had determined that we need to visit Japan for a few months not a fleeting visit.
