sublime to the ridiculous

last night on a hard bunk in a train carriage...tonight in a junoir suite of three roooms amd a lobby......
am just about managing to log into this blog...at least i have a qwerty keyboard but the blog sign in is in russian! so i'm doing it by grope...
thanks for all the comments, keep them coming please
this morning the train came in on time but the taxi took an hour and a half to turn up and then didn't know how to find the hotel...we had a good tour of moscow!
such a nice young man but we'd rather they don't send him next time...we want to catch the train to mongolia!
yesterday i sat on the hook that holds the bedding on the bunk and ripped the backside out of my trousers! so now i have an excuse to spend in china! :)
another couple at the station still hadn't got their taxi when we left. they are off to bejing tomorrow but we may bump into them again...they are dutch and helped most of the carriage fill in the customs forms...they could read german!
we were in brest for about three hours or more as they changed the bogies..the baboushkas on the platform waved bottles of beer and fruit at us all. i bought raspberries and ate them for supper...after washing them well in our dwindling water supply...she gave me a cooked corn on the cob free, bless, but i threw it away...need to conserve the tummies for as long as poosible!
we are taking loads of photos and will be SOOOO boring when we get back...the video diary is a bit on and mostly off and the dictaphone will never replace writing! :)
times up, off to the kremlin soon i hope, just had a good but odd lunch to the soundtrack and videos of soft porn! all in this very plush hotel..it would be a tinkling piano in bournemouth! :)
love to all
