With the arrival of our visas earlier this week all is in place for the off. We leave home at 3.00 am tomorrow being Monday morning.
There's more than a little of "last of the summer wine" about the manner in which our rucksacks are being packed... don't forget your mug, spoon and cuppa-soups... it's going to be 29 hours on the train north.
At least we're flying our first leg to St. Petersburg.
