Day 1 on the Train!

Tuesday 22nd January 08

Today, is my first day on the train and its a whole different feeling compared to yesterday the light is streaming into the carriage and the view is amazing. I woke up about two hours ago. I had a look around the train earlier and found the restaurant cart where they were serving breakfast so i settled down and had some eggs on toast and a typical Russian dish which is ham fried in mustard and then placed on fried bed with dill and parsley. It was really tasty. My next stop on the Train is Tyumen. Tyumen has a lot of intriguing history to do with exports and industrialization, it all sounds very interesting! When i get there i have organized to go and see a ballet in one of the many theaters there because they are very famous theaters that have wonderfully architecture. I can't pronounce the name of the ballet though! Tyumen even has a professional ballerina of there own, Tamara Toumanova. Sadly she will not be in the performance as she is out of town but it should still be amazing! I have heard there are a number of good restaurants so i will have to try out one of those too, to get a feel for russian food! Also i will go and see one of the old mid 18th century monasteries. I think it will be this one i printed off the internet but I'm not sure. I'm going to go now speak some more tomorrow bye!
