The Russian Experience

One my long standing travelling ambitions is to do the Trans-Siberian Express railway journey from St Petersburg to Vladivostok. From the Guardian website, Marcel Theroux (the big brother of Louis) provides an interesting flavour of what long distance locomotive travelling in Russia might entail. With regard to the young Russian couple in the first part, you'd be quite right in thinking 'HOW THE HELL DID HE GET HER?!'

Extraordinary. I want to do that.

Paul O'Grady in the second one. Odd. Tell ye what though. That's cheating on the luxury steam train. The first one reminds me of some of my train travels in Russia and Ukraine.

The appearance of O'Grady was indeed a strange turn. Wonder if that was his podgier brother he was with? Or maybe his lover.

The luxury beer carriage looked awesome - i bet the miles would just fly by in that carriage.
