Looks good!
GO TEAM MARSHALL!
Enjoyed reading the articles and viewing the photos.
Seeing the route map brought memories of my Trans-Siberian rail crossing flooding back – a roughly parallel route, starting in Beijing and finishing in Moscow. But we were on rails, and there was a samovar at the end of each carriage; yours is a more challenging approach!
Anyway, we wish you all the very best. The itinerary and route map is on the wall to assist in monitoring your daily progress.
Have fun!
Craig & Nicky, just had Penelope round for dinner before she leaves next week so now we have your blog we will watch with interest. Hope that the Dodgem behaves and watch out for that Mongolian goulash! Cheers Ian & Anne
