Next stop Beijing

We've really enjoyed our time in Moscow but the time has come to pack up our things (and we've got a lot of things - so much for all the experience of packing light for wild camping back home!) and head off to the station to board the trans-mongolian express.  All being well we should be in Beijing on the 29th September.  It will be blog silence until then assuming we can get wifi in Beijing and no updates on Facebook until we're in Japan in early October.

Arrived in Moscow (Diane)

Had a good flight to Moscow and found our hotel relatively easier despite not being able to read any signs!  Been to the Kremlin and Red Square today.  Amazing to see.  Will have to work out how to post pictures!  Thanks again to everyone for their best wishes.  We'll miss you all very much.  

And we are off (Simon)

OMG

we've done it

sitting in the Hilton hotel at Heathrow airport hoping to get a good night's sleep before flying to Moscow in the morning

Panicking!! (Simon)

Day minus 3 and we are still tidying up, sorting out before we head off. Sooo much to do and not enough time. Off to see my mum and dad tonight for a grand send off with Di’s Mum and Dad and my sister and her 3 lads
