The next day I'll organize myself for the Trans-Siberian. On day 3 the Odissey starts from Yaroslav Station on board train 3/4, direction Beijing. I'll stay on the train till day 9, when, after having crossed the border to Mongolia, I'll stop in Ulaanbaataar. Around day 23 then, I'll get back into Russia from China, riding the Beijing Loop. A stop is due in Chita to see the Alkhanay mountain and Ulan-Ude, capital of the Buryat Republic, before reaching Lake baikal, where I'll stop for three full days exploring the lake uniqueness.
