the route

And this is leg 2 of the trip: 12 to 18 months in Asia. All of the overland journey still needs to be defined, we'll see when we get there. But the rough plan is to stay 4-5 months in India and then go to Sri-Lanka where we will spend about 2 months. We have some friends to see there and we need to get some things moving for our charity Lankangels (www.lankangels.org.uk). By August/Sept we should be making our way towards South-East Asia: maybe Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia...who knows....I'd like to cycle it. We'll see how we feel by then and if we can find some decent bikes.
If we can stay long enough (surely it will be hard to spend an extra 2 or 3 months on the beach), we'd like to come back on the Transiberian, leaving Hanoi to reach Beijing and catch the transiberain from there. But to fully apprecaite this amazing journey we would need to wait for the winter to have passed, so maybe April/May 2010. But that all seems a long way away, so let's see nearer the time.
