Train trip with son

In 2008 when we were living in Vietnam, Robert and I realised you could go by train from Saigon to London. We talked about it on and off as the "big trip" for Dad (about to turn 40) and Son (about to turn 12). In 2010 we were living in Singapore, and I changed jobs, giving me a slightly longer summer vacation. We decided to use this time to let the train take the strain. We flew from Singapore to Hong Kong and then travelled entirely by train to Scotland over 15 days.

To Russia with love

Finally I have Russian visas with the correct validity (I hope). The process was a bit cumbersome as it was necessary to get invite letters via the Internet.

Now off to the Mongolian consulate in Singapore for the Mongolian transit visa (the Russian visa is a pre-requisite).

Didn't Ewan mcgregor and Charlie Borman have a team of research assistants to help when they did their bike tour ?
