Mongolian nightmare | Fraser Coast Travel | Holidays and Tourism in Fraser Coast | Fraser Coast Chronicle: "FILTHY toilets, no toilet paper, a urine-stained floor, no ability to flush and dribbles on the seat immediately indicate we are heading further east.

First class feels like "no class" and we are grateful to be on this Ulaanbaatar-bound train for only 26 hours.

At 5.15am, the train pulls out of Irkutsk station and chugs along the banks of Lake Baikal heading south to Zaudinsky. It is here that our route shifts from the Trans-Siberian and becomes known as the Trans-Mongolian Express following the Selenga River. We will arrive at Ulaanbaatar tomorrow morning."
