Yesterday we boarded a train in Vladimir. 23 hours 40 minutes, 1625km and 2 time zones later we pulled into the station at Yekaterinburg. About 30 minutes before Yekaterinburg we passed an unassuming white obelisk which marks the border from Europe into Asia and so passed into the next phase of our adventure.

We’re also now happy to be back in accommodation with wi-fi and we’ve got a few blog posts stored up which we’ll be posting over the next few days.
