The Plan So Far

It seems that a few people are wondering so here is the route as far as we have it:

Leave Sheffield by train to London on the 3rd of May,
London to Brussels (Belgium) by Eurostar,
Brussels to Berlin (Germany) by German Rail,
Berlin to Warsaw (Poland), still on German Rail but overnight,
Warsaw to Moscow (Russia) (hopefully via Minsk [Belarus], we're waiting on visas!)
Moscow to Ulan Bator (Mongolia) on the Trans-Mongolian Railway
Ulan Bator to Beijing (China) on the second leg of the Trans-Mongolian

This is nearly all booked now. The rest is a little more hazy but will hopefully run something like:
Qingdao (China) to Shimonoseki (Japan) by boat
Some sightseeing in Japan (checking out Nara and popping back to good old Fukuoka!)
Shimonoseki to Qingdao by boat

Qingdao to Hanoi (Vietnam), hopefully on a train!
Have a good look around Northern Vietnam

Then to Laos for a little more sightseeing

On to Thailand (probably do some sightseeing in the North)

Next stop Cambodia (who knows, there could be some sightseeing! We hear that Angkor Wat is rather nice! :)

Back to Thailand to get some beach relaxation going on

Through Thailand to Malaysia

Then maybe Indonesia (time and money may become an issue at some point soonish!)

Oh yeah, and somehow get back to Sydney too!
