cachaseiro Says: we spend most of the time drinking and dancing at the train station, while the soldiers guarding us looked rather confused.a very recommended thing to do if you love kisses, strange dances and vodka.
Gudogay Train Station: Train Station Seats
poons Says: Plenty of great "yellow" chairs to lounge around on.And a laser light show by the armed guards if they like you!
Rusket Says: There was a real samovar on the train, fuelled with real firewood! Pictures 2 & 3 where the fire is visible are unfortunately not very good, the train was moving too much. Picture 4 shows the samovar with the door closed. White coffee :-)
Gudagay Railway Station: Bring your own food
Rusket Says: Two of the nice armed guards that were preventing us from sneaking into Belarus followed us to the local grocery store to buy food, and this is what we got: Brown bread, sossages, cheese and beer / coke.
poons Says: If they like you the kindly Guards may put on a "disco laser light show" especially for their special guests!All in jest! In January - many layers!
Rusket Says: I loved the Vilnius - Minsk train! Take a look at the closeup of one of the curtains in pic 2! What a pity we were thrown out on the first stop after passing the border to Belarus :-(Smoking is forbidden (pic 3) but the car attendant opened the door to a fire room for us, so...
3 grocery stores within walking distance
poons Says: If you dont possess visas, and have a wait on your hands, armed guards kindly offer (or perhaps they insist upon) an escort to the local grocery store (which was just a little shack a few hundred metres away... but it has everything you need for a short stay).All in all we...
souvenier shop at bthe train station.
cachaseiro Says: there is a little souvenier at the train station where you can buy cigarets, babushkas and belarus bra's before you board the train back to vilnius.very interesting little shop. babushkas and booze are probaply the best choices.
the local supermarket.: good place to buy vodka and beer.
cachaseiro Says: there are 3 little stores by the train station that sells food and drink.the people working there were very friendly and happy that they had a very good evening where they sold all their booze to some strange tourists. beer and vodka. about 2 dollars for a bottle of vodka.
Grocery store, liquor shop and tax free!
Rusket Says: The grocery store was a tiny shack. Brad, who is taking the picture, stood in the opposite corner of it from me! With the two armed guards who followed us there, the shop was crowded. But a couple more people managed to squeeze themselves in, too.There is a liquor store and...
Backpackermoose Says: Local dogs seem to have the custom of wandering into railway stations to beg food from stranded visaless tourists. This one said his name was Hannes. He would eat anything my fellow (human) travellers threw him, like cheese and dry bread, and he crawled under the benches to...
Rusket Says: This man asked us to help him open his vodka bottle. It seems wise to carry one, since Belarus might be very cold during the winter. (At first I thought he wanted to steel our knife ;-) Some of my travelling companions took after him, which you can see on the other pictures.
Rusket Says: The restroom standard is not the best I have seen. Toilets are in an outhouse, they are dirty and without toilet paper. But I never travel anywhere without a roll :-) I guess one of my male travelling companions will put up a picture of the men's, which they claimed looked...
Rusket Says: The day the borders open up, this town will probably be out of business. I guess the only tourism they get, are people like us, who believed we could get visa on the train / border. For a while it seemed like the guards believed they would have to use force to get us off the...
cachaseiro Says: the minsk times is an english publication where you can read about how happy all the recidents in belarus are about their goverment and their president.the storeis from around the world are mainly about unemployment and depression in the western world.in short, the minsk...

A group of 6, slightly inebriated foreigners, (1 Australian I must add) so are chances were very small to begin with, had the bare-faced cheek to try to get into Belarus without the correct paperwork....

Just so you know, I have been to Belarus too, not only Mom. But I will leave most of the tip writing to her. She gets so envious when I get better ratings than she! I want to warn you about the...
