Ulysse and Elsa have now left the country over two weeks ago, their first stop: Moscow. Short and sweet, they spent a night in the capital of Russia before boarding the Trans-Siberian Railroad, destination: Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
Designed after the Trans-Canadian Rail Road, it was completed in less than twenty year, becoming the longest railroad line in the world. The Trans-Siberian covers over 9300km, crossing over seven time zones and has over 990 train stations scattered along the railway line. The train departs for it’s long journey in Moscow, and does not rest till it reaches Vladivostok, located on the Pacific Ocean.
However after five days on the train, Elsa and Ulysse unloaded their bags and canoe paddles in Oulan-Bator. They finally set foot in the capital of Mongolia.
Ulysse and Elsa are now spending time discovering the capital city and starting preparations for our expedition. Fishing permits need to be acquired, Visa extensions requested, maps bought and laminated, not to mention food purchased and bought.
