MAY 15, 19 .. OUR TRANS-SIBERIAN TRAIN RIDE TO CHITA (ЧИТА), RUSSIAN SIBERIA.

I can see it now coming down the tracks ..

We were standing on Loading Platform Number 3, here at the Irkutsk, Russian Siberia railway station when, down the tracks, I could see our train to Chita arriving.






Our coach.


You can not see Patti, but she is waving to us from behind the center, tinted-glass window below.


Our first class coach (wagon) was number 12. 



Our train is heading for Vladivostok ( Владивосток )Russian Siberia.


Looking down the corridor outside of our cabin.


A look at our first class cabin.

As you can see, Patti and I were the only occupants in our cabin-for-two.



Lots of pillows and bedding along with towels for each of us.





With our ticket came a full dinner. You can see our menu in the below photo. We ordered dinner shortly after we were underway. We had a three hour time window for dinner. We opted to eat at 8pm. 


"Patti?"

"Yes Cap?"

"It is May the 14th and just look at the snow. You'd think that we are in Russian Siberia Patti!"







The snow continued to come down. 



We are now in the Lake Baikal area.







From time to time we would veer inland and away from Lake Baikal.





And we'd come back to Lake Baikal.




And then, Lake Baikal was past us.

Later in the afternoon, the sun came out to greet us.






Now for a few photos of the dining car. We spent a fair number of hours sitting in the dining car enjoying the views and the open and airy space.









And what did we enjoy in the dining car?






And then?

It was five o'clock in the morning and we were in Chita.

It was a fun, it was a great trip, and it was tiring at the same time.

Hugs from Patti and Smiles from Cap
