Hi Louisa well as i was at mum and dad's last week I heard a fair bit abou your imminent departure, and mum and I spent one evening poring over world maps trying to work out exactly wehre the Trans-Siberian Express goes! Insane jealousy notwithstadning I'm delighted you've made it safely to you first stop in Prague and wish you every joy and happiness in what sounds like being a fantastic experience. Don't be surprised if you get a bit homesick sometimes though - Eastern Euarope and Asia ain't quite the south coast of old blighty! big hugs to you and your friend and i look forward to reading more about your escapades / what flavour soup you're ingesting / how many wild camels you've seen etc. etc.
