It's been a while since I did this, hasn't it? In fact, it's been a YEAR since I last "posted". I anticipate that it may take me a while to compile this whole thing after so long.
Been wanting to post stuff about the WORLD'S LONGEST RAILWAY JOURNEY - the Trans Siberian journey. Beijing - Moscow via Mongolia : This is arguably the most interesting Trans-Siberian route to take, I was told. The 7,621 km (4,735 mile) journey cuts across 2 continents taking 6 days, non-stop. It starts from Beijing, cuts across Mongolia and the Gobi desert, entering into Siberia.
It is indeed an incredible journey traversing three great nations and a quarter of the globe. From the grace of imperial Beijing to the opulence of Moscow and St Petersburg, the seven (7) of us, 4 from the kiwiland, journeyed through the vast grassy steppes of Mongolia, the seemingly impenetrable taiga forests of Siberia and the rolling Ural Mountains. It was a once in a life time trip! Any journey that travels through five (5) time zones and traverses a quarter of the globe is bound to be a remarkable experience.
Having completed this epic journey, I thought it is only right that I should look back at the places I have seen and think back of those eye-opening weeks, and reminisce those weeks of fun and hilarity.
On the last note, I would like to say that this journey is an adventure and one of the very few left on our planet that can be completed by absolutely anyone.
Check out the Siberian 7!
CHeers!
