Vladivostok!!

A dream, a journey, an adventure. It has been all of it for me. A childhood fantasy, a scary risky journey of some of the longest driving terrain in the world. 15 percent of the globe.
After the first couple of days we could not believe we were doing this journey. But it eventually sunk in. We are all on our journeys in life . This has been apart of the Journey for me. I have learnt a lot about myself and others. First of all I am glad I set about doing it. I am glad I went ahead and did not put it off.
I have learn if you believe in something and want it. Go out and get it. Let no man or beast stop you.

I have joined an elite group of travelers who have driven the trans Siberian. Now I need to capitalize on it.. And bring out the enterprenuer in me to make it pay!!
Write the book on the journey.
Then the trans Siberian diet.
Of course the computer game driving the trans Siberian journey for kids. Where he has to think of food, fuel and sleeping strategy for his journey.
First steps on how to enjoy camping!!
Book on how to blog from anywhere anytime and keep folk from several countries entertained.
Finally the comedy script on traveling with a Cz, a Pole a Russian and a Brit on the Trans Siberian for 3 weeks. I think I will enjoy the last one immensely.
I have enjoyed writing this Blog and have had some useful comments from a lot of you.
Thank you all for your support and comments. Anyone planning such a trip can contact me on Jude@Machado.co.uk if you need any advise direction of even a simple chat.
I started this Blog by saying in 20 years time you will think of all the things you wanted to do and never did and live to regret. I won't regret this adventure. I write this at Vladivostok airport waiting for my flight back to Moscow and onto London.
I could not have blogged this without the help of our techinical specialist Mark who kept the Blog going even when we were out of range and deep in Siberia.. Thank you Mark for your support!!
