Russia
From Russia with love....
Russia has an intricate, rich and somewhat dark history, which undoubtably adds to its diverse culture. Known infamously for fine Vodka, no trip to Russia can be without a little vodka, it offers a lot more; with palaces and museums in the cities, and beautiful countryside filled with rivers, lakes, the Virgin Komi Forest, the Volcanoes of Kamchatka and the Solovestsky Islands

The Vodkatrain 21 Days |
St Petersburg to Beijing Why would you want to sit on a stuffy flight for 10 hours? The only way to get to and from Asia is by train. It might take an extra 20 days or so, but hey ho, you’ll see and experience so much that you’ll be regaling fantastical tales to friends, family and domestic pets for years and years. This incredible journey takes you from the ‘Venice of the North’, St Petersburg to the pulsating capital city of China, Beijing – or vice versa. In between you’ll visit a profusion of unbelievable and unpronounceable places. Hang out with nomads in the wilds of Mongolia, explore devastatingly beautiful wilderness in and around Lake Baikal, absorb centuries of intriguing history in Moscow and Ekaterinburg and discover Ulaanbaatar, the only capital in the world where you’re more likely to get run over by a horse than a Honda. |
