The first leg of the journey!

View Route in a larger map

Here's a map of the initial route we're taking. Starting with a flight from Luton to Amsterdam, then flying from Amsterdam to Warsaw, then by train from Warsaw to Krakow, followed by a train back from Krakow to Warsaw!
Then back on the plane from Warsaw to Saint Petersberg (8 hour stopover at Riga) and finally train it from Saint Petersberg to Moscow! All in 12 days. Stressful much?
On the 12/4 at 21:30 local time we board the Trans-Mongolian bound for Ulan Bator!
