You've done Oz, too! We did the camper van thing from Sydney to Tasmania, Melbourne to Adelaide, across the Nullarbor to lush SEastern Coast of WA and up thru Perth to Darwin, down to Alice/Uluru, up and across the Barkley to Townsville, up to Daintree and back down to Sydney in 2006. It was so awesome! Before that we'd hoped to do an around the world tour that included an overland from Istanbul to Cairo. That never panned out. But, the overland from Ireland to China sounds VERY TEMPTING! Perhaps if I start working again we could be ready by 2013 ish to meet you along the way!!

Many thanks for adding the link to your site. The Trans Siberian was really an amazing experience and adventure. You will love it! As a Vegan, Mongolia will be very very very hard on you as the locals live only from yack/sheep/goat meat and yack or hare's milk. In Russia you might get by, but good luck! China should not be a problem at all. If you have any questions don't hesitate, as I am still updating my site. I really loved Mongolia, the locals were really great! (The litlle story behind seat61.com. That guy loved to travel on Eurostar (London to Paris high speed train) and always ask for seat 61 which is the best seat in the house. It is the bible of Railway Travel!) I forgot to mentionned it in my website I might ad a quick link on it, thanks for the reminder! Take care Isabelle Hi
