We have a plan

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

I love this part… deciding where to go, how to get there. I’m planning on leaving Hanoi around the 7th, 8th of April and so have a good week to take the train up to Beijing.

My parents arrive in Beijing around the 15th April and we start out for Mongolia on the 18th.

Bejing – Ulan Bataar – Irkutsk – Ekaterinburg – Moscow – St Petersburg – Riga – Stockholm – Copenhagen – Esbjerg – Harwich and then Liverpool.
