Potato meets his cousins in Chiang Mai’s night bazaar.

After almost 2 weeks of train travel through Russia’s cities and Siberia’s wilderness, I’m at a loss about where to start this wrap up. Given that I’m off again this evening (overnight train to Ulan-Ude, Siberia) I’ll do a bullet point wrap up for each place we’ve visited, and the trains as a whole.

Sadly, Red Square is cordoned off until mid-September in preparation for Moscow Day – meaning Potato, Bryce and I only got to see it from afar, and St. Basil’s from the backside.

Skydiving with bronchitis? Why not!

My mascot Potato meets a giant tortoise on the Galapagos Islands.
