Siberia Update

All our travel seems to be coming together well. The tickets are a bit more expensive than in previous years but still not too bad. The visas came through the other day for Russia. Now all we need is the Chinese transit visas and we will be sweet. The Chinese visa applications go in tomorrow.

We also have had news that we may be joined by another couple from church for part of the trip. This will be great because it will help with looking after Katya. It will also make the trip more of a team thing. These people have already been to Irkutsk so will not need minding.

One piece of not so good news is about our baby back pack. It is 124cm in W+H+D. AirNZ only allow carry on of 115cm. We are going to try and wing it. Once we are past AirNZ the other airlines allow 150cm. The back pack is very important as this will be Katya's primary transport. We are not taking a pram as we do not think this will work in the ice environment.
