We have just four days before the adventure begins.
So today it is deciding on the clothes, and other bits and bobs. What food do we take for the first link to Moscow, apparently there is no buffet car in Belorus or Russia, only during the transit across Poland, so it looks like Corsican sausage, wine, and because "man does not live by sausage and wine only", water (of course) and some dried soup ... and maybe a few olives, some cheese, etc. etc.
It's pouring rain today, so we can spend the day also getting routes to hotels from train stations, via metro rather than relying on no-doubt expensive taxis and overcrowded buses. We tried to get hotels near metro stations.
Planning a trip like this would be almost impossible these days without the internet. Apart from train timetables, we can book ferries, choose a hotel, book and pay, decide on transport to and from, and study the map to ensure we know were we will be. All without leaving the lounge!
