Leaving Kiev
The last couple of weeks Alister and left Kiev and went to Poland. Alister was lecturing at a camp and I got to tag along to help out.
We traveled by train (20 hours) to Warsaw. Polish trains are differnt from Ukrainian/ Russian trains. Rather than a coupe with 4 beds - the international coupe had three beds stacked on top of each other, a small sink, covered by a table, a medicine cabinet and a fold down seat. The three passengers in the coach could sit on the bottom bunk - but as soon as the middle bunk was made up for sleeping - no more sitting was possible - unless you wanted to end up looking like Quasimodo. Another perk to the ride was free coffee and a free chocolate crosant (the prepackage kind.) The border was surprising fast - considering they hand to change all the wheels to a differnt size - we were across in 2 hours. (versus the bus which later took us 5). All in all the ride was pleasant. We arrived in Warsaw at 7:30 am, had a short nap and then headed out to see the city.

Did you actually have 3 in your room? I've seen the 3rd bed and wondered how anyone could handle sleeping on the bottom or the middle!
