Ready to go!

Picked up the passports with Ukraine and Russian visa today. Bags are packed. We leave Canberra on Friday morning.

Alternate route

The trip is going to be very flexible. If we don't get to Kazakhstan, we might get down to Spain. We'll wait and see what's in store when we get there . . .

2 weeks to go

Still waiting on the passports to come back. Got a good exchange rate on Euros and Pounds. Picking up the airline tickets next week. We've only got to pack and then we're off . . . .

Getting close

We've booked everything. Managed to get cheap train tickets from London to Felixstowe (reduced from 40 pounds to 6 pounds each). Hotel at Heathrow also booked and also the Guest House in Felixstowe. We're just waiting for our passports to come back with the Ukraine and Russian visas.
Getting itchy feet - we just want to get going . . . .
