In August, I travelled around the world in 28 days via St. Petersburg, Moscow, Siberia, Mongolia, China and Vancouver.
The 'Russia and Beyond' part of the trip was with a group tour organized by Intrepid Travel (Intrepid's website and official itinerary). This was a group of 12 people from all over the world and one tour leader who showed us the sights and out of trouble. It was a fantastic way to see that part of the world.
I joined the group in St. Petersburg where we toured the city for a few days before taking a train to Moscow. After a day in Moscow, we hopped on a Trans-Siberian train for the 4 day trip to Irktusk in Siberia. We had a freshing swim in Lake Baikal, the largest lake in the world then took the 2 day train to Ulaan Baatar, the capital of Mongolia. The highlight of the trip was the 2 days we spent in a 'ger' camp in rural Mongolia. From Mongolia, we caught the 1.5 day train to Beijing for a few days of big city life.
From Beijing I flew to Vancouver for some time visiting with my family and girlfriend in British Columbia. I completed my circuit of the world by flying the relatively short distance from Vancouver back to Toronto.
Photos and more detailed description of the trip is on the following pages:
There are also some photo collections from the trip.
