Our first night’s dinner on the train was very nice. Our “red group” restaurant car had six tables assigned to us, so we never had to look for seating. However we had to traverse seven cars, four doors at each end, balancing carefully across the moving cars to get to the dining car. Moral of the story: Pay extra to have only two to a compartment.
Before long, Anthony, also from the London area, made arrangements to move, too. The winners in all of this were Jeff and me because we now had only two in our compartment and while it was still very tight, it was much more comfortable. Fortunately there was an empty compartment she could move to, at a steep supplement. Jeff and I settled into our compartment in Car 15 of the Zarengold train that would take us across European Russia and Siberia. As we had opted for Standard Class, we were to share the compartment with two other people. This was a space of 42 square feet with four bunks. Our luggage had already been delivered to the compartment and as the four of us tried to fit in, it was obvious that was not going to work.Īmanda, a woman from the London area, took one look and went in search of the guide. Traveling with Landfried were Diann Rector of Corona, Barbara Krause of Redlands and Jeff Abuhl of Phoenix. Editor’s note: This is the second part of Janet Landfried’s story of a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Moscow to Beijing in September.
