Shipping the bike to Moscow

Today our main goal was to get the bike and bike luggage on the train to Moscow. After the morning breakfast, we started by gathering all stuff we wanted to ship as well to Moscow. We like to travel light, so the less we need to carry around, the better for us.

We were ready around 11am and headed for the train station. We met our contacts. By now, luckily, there was another way to get on the platform. I could ride around, and get inside the building. We just had to park the bike here, and gather all our stuff in a big bag.

After that we did the administration part and said goodbye to the bike. Hopefully we will see everything back soon in Moscow. Voila, that was one thing sorted out for the day.

Next we had to find out transport for ourselves. It turned out that flying was cheaper than a 4 person train coupe and faster than going by train. On the train it is around 60 hours to get to Moscow, while by air it takes a good 4 hours. So we bought plane tickets and for the next day. We will be in Moscow tomorrow! We booked a stay in Godzilla in central Moscow as well at the time.

We had the rest of the day off and did some more walking to explore Krasnoyarsk. We walked along prospekt Mira and of course to the Lenin square. There was also a nice park and we sat on the big wheel. We went to bed early as we head to go to the airport the next morning.
