cargo ships on the Ob, the second giant Siberian river, we pass to the Irtysh.

At the station of Novosibirsk - our train was standing on the platform there and hustle and bustle. 02:07:06: This day is dedicated to the monotonous West Siberian Plain. Endlessly she is gone and drag bring us a day of leaden monotony, broken by many stops, and only two major cities loosened, which we will cross each one of the Siberian rivers - and then only Omsk Novosibirsk.

In Omsk I'm too lazy to develop any such activities. Therefore, unfortunately, no pictures of the city or the river caused Irtysh. The Irtysh is the first west of the Siberian giant streams that flow into the Arctic Ocean. It joins the lower reaches of the Ob and forms with him a giant estuary.

Omsk Behind the endless plain begins in earnest. There are no closed forest cover more. Endless meadows, often wet meadows dotted with vegetation bins of individual birch trees pass by. We use the time to get to know us better. Above all, we learn about Christian. Above all, his professional experience from the East German agricultural machinery produce some interesting history. In the afternoon we reach

Novosibirsk. The city is relatively young and was only at the beginning of the 20th Century, the town charter. In contrast to Omsk and Irkutsk, the city that rose until the construction of the Trans-Siberian as a settlement, virtually no historic buildings. Nevertheless, it is now considered the capital of Siberia, although officially it is not the title. But it is home to several Consulates, including the German agency for the entire region, Siberia.

Already on the west bank of the Ob can be seen extensive building activities. The city seems to boom. Then we cross the Ob, within which there is lively freight shipping. Finally, we are rolling in the Novosibirsk central station.


endless flat desert of western Siberia.
Taiga Station - evening stop: There are actually more forest again seen along the route. Here again there is a long stop. Since it is a must, to stretch your legs and into the colorful travel to the station.

For Oliver, of course, is the company's train "Sibiryak" a photo event. We wander around a bit on our side on the platform, pedestrian bridge and the station building until the wagon companion reflect the signal for boarding.

And then we roll to the east. Moscow time, and thus according to the Russian railway clock time is 15:08, but after time it is 18:08 clock - it's already on the evening. During our last big stop on today's date "Taiga" there are already four-hour time difference between Moscow and we are. Until then, there are still about three hours.

In the vicinity of the station Taiga Landscape the name again just stronger. Rather than have the expansive meadows with individual birch trees it again more closed forest with mainly coniferous trees. Here we complete a final walk on the platform. Aside from the passengers of our train has left the station of Taiga but pretty. Then we continue and we roll into the night.
