![The Trans-Siberian Railway is 100 years old today, so it’s a good moment to look back at my journey from 2011.

I went from Moscow to Irkutsk, near Lake Baikal. That’s about half of the total length. Took me a bit more than 4 days and as many time zones. Plus one season change, as I left Moscow at 32 degrees Celsius, and got off the train in Irkutsk at 6 degrees.
This is the Shaman's Rock, on Olkhon Island, the largest in Lake Baikal. It is said to be one of the most sacred places in all Asia. For example, the local population, the Buryats, still practice shamanism, so it is an important place for them.
