Jumping in Dublin

Dublin, Ireland


3 days for an extended weekend in Ireland. A perfect way to get prepared to the upcoming big train trip. A perfect way to get to know how Whisky is made and Guiness is prepared.

And of course, a perfect way to jump !!

Jumping in Howth

Howth, Ireland


Howth is marketed as the Irish Saint-Tropez. Well....

At least we've seen some seals. Are there any seals in Saint-Tropez ?

Jumping in Cologne

Cologne, Germany


First stop on our train trip to China, Cologne.

We arrived by Thalys and we had a 1h stop over connection. Enough to go jump in front of the Cathedral !

From there we took a train to Moscow (arriving from Amsterdam) for 2 days ! :-)

Jumping on Belarus border

Brest, Belarus


After 24 hours of train, we arrived in Brest, on Poland-Belarus border (not to be mistaken with Brest in France uh !).

The trains in Russia, Belarus and Mongolia have different spacing compared to European standards.So we stopped 3 hours in Brest to change the boggies.

That's still some good time to stretch your legs, buy some Chicken for lunch... and jump of course !

Behind me our Amsterdam - Moscow train.

Jumping in Minsk

Minsk, Belarus


A few hours later, at night, we make a quick stop in Minsk.
Just an occasion to jump in front of the Vienna-Moscow wagon of our train.

In fact, in Warsaw our train coming from Amsterdam got Split in 2: one part went to Vienna and our part got attached to a part coming from Vienna to continue to Moscow.

Jumping in Moscow

Moscow, Russia


Just arrived in Moscow, we went to get registered (not only do you need a visa but you need to be registered when you arrive in Russia, stating where you'll be staying and for how long)

Right after, we met with Ksenia and Gregory (CSers that I had hosted during the summer) for a city walk and we met with those fellow wannabe-jumper clowns.

We stayed 3 days in Moscow, hosted by Katya, the greatest CSer in town! An also particulary skilled at jumping :)

Saint Basil's Cathedral is probably one of the most emblematic monument of moscow. It sits on one side of the red square. On the other side you'll find the Kremlin, the History Museum, the Kasan Cathedral and the Goom.

The picture below was taken at VDNKh park. This "Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy" (Выставка Достижений Народного Хозяйства Vystavka Dostizheniy Narodnovo Khozyaystva) or ВДНХ/VDNKh is a now permanent general-purpose trade show in Moscow. This park is fantastic, it bring you back to the soviet period in an instant.

First TransSiberian jump !

Balezino, Russia


After one night aboard train Rossyia (linking Moscow to Vladivostok), we stopped some time in Balezino. Enough time to stretch our legs and buy some food for the day to the local sellers on the platform.

Jumping in Perm'

Perm', Russia


Aboard the transsiberian, life is simple for 4 days: eat, sleep, read, talk, take the apero, eat, sleep etc... That's a wonderful time where you end up relaxed as you've never been before.

But when you'll get offered the chance to stop in a station for more than 5 minutes, you come to really appreciate to get off of the train and walk around the platforms.

Perm is mostly an industrial city. But it is also the entry door to famous Oural mountains.

Jumping in Barabinsk (a.k.a. train makes you zen)

Barabinsk, Russia


Barabinsk is a small city for which wikipedia says "the most important economic sectors are the production of building material as well as metal and agricultural industries".

Ok, might not be the hottest touristic spot of Russia.
