We have arrived in Irkutsk after three solid days aboard the Trans-Siberian express. It has been an amazing journey watching this vast country go by. We have passed partly frozen lakes, forests and mountains. We have been fortunate to share our kupe with some great people and have shared some amazing picnics, drank too much vodka/cognac and laughed till we cried. That said it was amazing to get to our hotel and shower. I have a feeling we will sleep well tonight!
