What To Put On Fresh Tattoo

The last day on the train

Johannes und Matze mit Manolis, den sie in Wanderstiefel gesteckt haben. and John Matze with Manolis, they have put in hiking boots. Der Zeitplan des Transsib-Zuges 339/340, wie er in jedem Waggon aushängt. The timing of the Trans-Siberian train 339/340, as he put up in every carriage.
22:08:05: Nadja from the compartment of the guys got out in Yekaterinburg. Their place was occupied but the same again. On the night we rolled through the Ural mountains and crossed the Eurasian frontier. In other words, we went to bed and woke up in Asia in Europe. Perm, the first major city in the European part of Russia, we still slept. Then began our last day on the train.

Today Manolis kept us on our toes. Fortunately, he had many friends in different compartments, so that one could distribute its energy to more people.

The European part of Russia is to look different than the Siberian. There are more villages and to see urban settlements. The effect of traditional villages, urban settlements seem bleaker than in Siberia. There are more dilapidated or abandoned industrial sites. Exceptions are major cities that looked at which the marginal areas but also bleak, but in the city center to see more signs of prosperity and growth were.

The schedule of the train 339/340 illustrates quite well the most important stops. Next to the names of the stops (from Moscow to Chita) left the timetable for the direction of Moscow and Chita right timing for the direction of the Chita-Moscow amgezeigt. To that end, the duration of the maintenance, so you can also plan purchases on the platform. Of course, not every minor maintenance is shown on this plan. One can also see that there are close to large cities long runs without maintenance, as these areas are covered by the suburban railways (elektrichka).

Furthermore we also recognize that we will arrive in Moscow at the crack of dawn - around 4:13 clock. This is hard, especially since we have a long last day of travel ahead of us be. Good thing we can not miss our arrival, as the train ends so in Moscow. We tried but come early to bed to sleep with the night not to miss out.
