Dear Naomi,
Our trip was wonderful!!
We had an excellent time. Besides acknowledging a bit of Russian and Mongolian culture we were able to exchange a lot of travel experiences. The people we met at the train (other passengers) and the guides were just great.
The train was very confortable and offered many pleasant times.
Thank you very much for having made this trip possible in such a short time.
