Equipped with visas to Russia, Mongolia and China, all of which were hard-fought for, and some small change for coin-operated showers on trains (among other things), I now leave for my journey across the Eurasian plate to Beijing, China.
I leave behind my comfortable bed, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 on the Playstation 2 which has kept me good company over the past several weeks, and my car which I may never see again.
The few luxuries I am allowing myself include a BlackBerry phone, a sexy new Canon G9 camera, an iPod with loads of movies and great TV shows such as Only Fools and Horses, toilet tissue (scarce on some trains) and PG Tips to accompany the boiling water provided on the Trans Siberian Railway.
By the time I return, Holland will have been crowned Euro 2008 Champions (hopefully), Obama will be the new President of the US (hopefully), Europe will have won the Ryder Cup (hopefully) and Liverpool will be top of the Premier League (certainly).
I’m very excited although I have to leave home very soon to catch the 8.05 train from St Pancras to Brussels. Let’s hope I make it!
Mount Kinabalu, Borneo
