September 24th 2003
After another great in-store autograph session we
headed to lunch and then the train station. I was actually looking
forward to this journey as the train offers a chance to really relax
and catch up with things.
The trains in this part of the world are extremely old and travelling
in first-class is the only acceptable way to go! We did do the coach
thing once and that’s how we learned! The compartments are
okay and the small beds are quite comfortable and I am writing this
from mine at the moment. The toilets are locked at stations and
the restaurant car opens and closes randomly. When it’s open
the food is okay and it’s an easy place to pass some time and
solve the probems of the world.
I won’t say that I am sorry to leave Ukraine but, overall,
it was an enjoyable experience and I shall look forward to coming
back.
For now though I am going to take a nap. Dinner is at 7pm and then
sleep…… the border crossing is at 5am and I doubt that
I will go back to sleep after that because we arrive in Bryansk
at 7:30.
Later…
Next
day...
