We like trains. So we decided to take the world’s longest railway journey! The Trans Siberian railway was completed in 1916 and connects Moscow on Russia’s west side to Vladivostok on the eastern coast. It is 9,289 km long, (5,772 miles). It has branches to China and Mongolia also.
When we first started to plan, we saw that the Tran Siberian Express will take you across in 8 days. I can’t quite imagine being on a train for 8 days even if it does stop and let you off to stretch your legs! So we decided to visit as many places of interest along the way as we could rather than taking the express train. We have a restriction of 30 days to travel on our tourist visa, so we have a flight booked to Seoul from Vladivostok at the end of October.
Our itinerary includes Moscow, Vladimir, Nihzny Novgorod, Kazan (a slight detour from the main route ), Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Khabarovsk and Vladivostok.
Keep ‘track’ of us as we travel…..(see what I did there? Track?!?!….because of the trains?! You’re right, it’s too early in the morning for puns. 🚂💨)
