Hi all... Well, it's all over! I'm back in London and slowly getting my head around being back to reality! Since leaving St Petersburgh I have had a VERY expensive week travelling overland back to the UK. I had great few days in St Petersburgh after saying goodbye to the Trans Mongolian group, met a good crowd in my hostel and visited some crazy Russian bars which was...interesting!
