Crossing Siberia 7000km: Ulaanbaatar ==> Lake Baikal ==> Ekaterinburg ==> Moscow ==> St. Petersburg
June/July 2008: We met in Ulaanbaator (Stefan coming from London, me from Santiago), and after a couple of days with a very nice nomad family in Mongolia, we took the trans-siberian railway all the way to St. Petersburg. You'll also find videos here...
