On the road again
|
Panic, sadness, excitement, disorganisation, frustration and myriad other emotions are going through our heads right now.
Not much time to write as busy cleaning.
The path that goes around the world starts from just outside the front door. We take our first step along it tomorrow......Read More

The first journey
|
Well I should have expected to feel like this. 36 hours on a coach and I'm smelly, exhausted and slightly dizzy - just an average Sunday evening then.
Managed to get a few hours sleep but not really ready to do a journey like that again any time soon.
It was, however, worth it to see......Read More

|

Agoraphobia in Mongolia
|
5 days spent on a train followed by the vastness of the plains of Mongolia is enough to make you want to hide behind the front door and pretend you're still in a tiny cabin.
After my last blog it seemed that things had taken a disasterous turn. However, it turns out that 8 hours is about......Read More

A Kickapoo Joy Cola Moment
|
In a land of 2.6 million people, 1 million are nomads. This soon became evident as we left the Mongolian capital, Ulan Bator. As the road stretched on into the wilderness, every few miles there was a ger complete with herd of sheep/yak/horse/cow.
Maybe now you have an image of a tarmac......Read More

I stayed up to watch the wheels being changed on the train so that they would fit the Chinese rails and......Read More
