Omsk, Russia - 22nd January 2014

By: Abdysh

Hello again!

Our trip to Omsk was quite good :)

In Novosibirsk, on the way to the train station we passed the exhibition of snow figures (most of them weren't finished) and the ice rink.

We were lucky to catch that colourful train in the subway, it's dedicated to the Olympics.

The way from Nsk to Omsk takes about 8-9 hours. Our train left in 2 am and arrived in 10 am, so we had a good sleep to the sound of wheels and lulling swaing of the wagon.

It was a bit cold in Omsk, so I haven't walked a lot :( Although I've seen some of its main sights:

Irtysh river and the magic tree =)

One interesting fact: there is ONE subway station in Omsk. Not two, but only one :D It's not finished and it's used as an underpass now.

The return train.

Now it's time to say goodbye to Dasha and to Russia :) My next destination is Germany! Hurray!
