What we’re actually doing ?

I just realised that although I’ve been posting test messages I haven’t actually given any idea of what we’re actually doing! So here it is: (by the way, the trip is still quite flexible)

We leave on 1 May early in the morning as our train leaves Waterloo at 8.30am. We’re taking the train to Brussels, then Koln, then Moscow. We arrive in Moscow on 3 May.

Staying in Moscow for a couple of days and will be spending one day in the Greenpeace office there. We leave on 5 May to go to Irkutsk and will arrive there 4 days later! We’ll spend a couple of days there (this is where it gets flexible) and will then go to Ulan Baator for a couple of days. From Ulan Baator we’ll go to Beijing.

We’re in China for about a week and are planning to see as much as possible. Hope to get over to see the Terracotta Warriors. We’re planning on getting to Shanghai by 25 May as our ferry leaves on 27 May. We go by ferry to Osaka and will arrive in Osaka on 29 May.

We’ll spend about 2 weeks in Japan (Joe is planning that bit). We fly back from Tokyo on 15 June arriving back in the UK in the afternoon.

And yes, we are quite excited by the trip!
