Hi there great to talk to you today. Photos look amazing I see the barrels I think I saw them with Michael Pallin does that count? Oh well I am going to the pictures to see the Kings Speech you get Gengus Khan I get Colin Firth who wins? Went to the garage with my car and the chap said I wasnt expecting you till next week. Lucky him I didnt know I was going at all Dad has chosen a new car for me. Still not agreed to change though got to go my lift is here. Love you take care

Hey guys - sorry to hear that Sue hasn't been well and hope she is better now and off tea and back on the vodka! Colin has noticed a certain chocolate theme in the photos - wonder why that is! It's great to read all your updates and see the photos almost like being with you....only warmer xx

Hi Guys, your trip sounds fantastic and is bringing back a lot of old memories. Toby and I wonder how the Trans-siberian of 10 years ago compares to the TS of today.....vodka was a must for us in the restaurant car, and we'd love to know if the babushkas on the train platforms are still selling the smoked fish (delicious!). What's the train cabin like & have you met any interesting fellow train passengers? Enjoy Mongolia....love the blog, it put's a big smile on my face. Emma

Looks fantastic Dan. Sorry we didn't get a chance to catch up in Edinburgh before you left on your expedition!

Stay safe, enjoy & God bless
