"Liddy Says"

"Beijing and St Petersburg, two great cities, connected by nearly 10,000km of railway. This trip takes you on the Trans-Mongolian railway as it traverses the wilds of Siberia and the Mongolian steppes before crossing into China. You will stop along the way for a sauna by Lake Baikal and to camp with nomads in Mongolia."
