Hallo Ulrike! Thank you for visiting my Porvoo page. I am planning to take Transsiberian train this year and will be back to see if you have some tips about it having seen that you've taken it.

an interesting page about the old Russia, that I also could see many years ago during CCCP-times. Habe leider nur ein paar Hafenstädte gesehen, während Du quer durchs Land fahren konntest ! ;-(
