Vietnamese Visas Sorted, Russian Train Tickets in hand....

Well at least the e-tickets! It's all feeling very real now. Only 14 days to go until we leave the UK for 105 days. Scary stuff!

I've now got all of my stuff to take, although I'm waiting on my perscription sunglasses, and it will be pretty hit and miss as to whether I get them or not.

Also need to sort out travel insurance, but that can be done in a few seconds.

Testing Out the Post by E-mail Function!

If this doesn’t work, hmmmm.

Anyway, we’ve sent off for our Vietnamese visas. They got to the consulate yesterday, so expecting them back next Monday/Tuesday.

After that in terms of visas, it’s just the Cambodian visas to sort.

We’ve now reserved our hotels throughout most of the trip. After Vietnam, we visit Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and finish at Singapore before travelling back to Malaysia for our flight home on the 8^th September. It’s all feeling very real now.

The e-mail post function is probably not going to be used very much, although I have it on good authority that Blogger (the site our blog is hosted on) is banned in China.

I’ve also been getting stuff for the trip as well. All I need now are my final round of injections (on the 22^nd) as well as getting some swim shorts and new trainers. Feeling all too real!

When I have time I will post a “page” of our provisional travel plans. We’ve “booked” very little. 2 flights, our hotel in Prague and a couple of trains and buses in Europe as well as a tour in Mongolia. This gives us a lot of flexibility. We have a lot of refundable reservations though.

Russian, Chinese and Mongolian Visas Sorted!

It's coming alive, the booking process is in full swing. We've arranged a 4 day/3night tour in Mongolia followed by 3 nights in the capital Ulaanbaatar. We're then onto China to visit, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong (not strictly China) and Guangzhou. We're arranging the next step now, Vietnam!
